Title I This year, the university celebrated 60 years with record numbers of Na- tional Merit Scholars, top-ranking ac- ademic departments. world-renowned faculty members, record-breaking re- search dollars and highly publicizedfa- ctlittes. You must remember that it takes more than buildings to make a great university. We must have a capable Board of Regents, a great President and qualtfted members ofthefaculty. . .And above all, you must have a great vision and a great student body. At the Uni- versity of Houston, I think we have them all, said Hugh Roy Collun, one of thefoundtngfathers of the university. Obviously, Cougar High no longer applies to the university and it has struggled hard to overcome the stigma. But, all the attention received has not necessarily beenfavorable. There were continuous battles over the budget and an ongoing investigation into the ath- letic department that marred its rep- utation. However you were there and made the best of it.

At the University of Houston. we have come of age physically - we have an average age of 26. well into the adult years. We are here, however, to improve. Recognizing the need for self im- provement is an important step, doing something about it was a major advance. It wasn't always easy. Facing the daily com- mute, dealing with day care and work, and still trying to maintain a decent GPA proved to be a consuming task. Daily, we came of age, willing to take the harder path to a more difficult life. Jesse Jackson spoke to students on his presidential campaign ral- ly during the fall semester.

In fact, for some this is only the beginning of our adult lives. The University of Houston has been labeled a 'tcommuter college. so your time here may take up just a small portion of each day. The four years tor more for most of usi are spent exploring various venues of education - personal and professional. This is the time to learn what you want and how you intend to attain it. Whether your preference is intellectual discus- sion of controversial issues, the rapt exploration of tough political decisions, or the slightly less ac- ademic study of the beer-soaked Cougar Den reg- ulars, there was something for everyone and this is the opportunity to take full advantage of it, while here at an institution of higher education. 6 University of Houston 7 Student Life A Memorable There was the antics of a gong show. a blazing bonfire. a Mexican feast and a coat and tie dance. But. missing from Homecoming '87 was the float parade. Our budget was cut. and we had to cancel the parade this year. Don Heard. co-chairperson of homecom- ing activities said. It usually costs about 84.000 to have to parade. But. the lack of funding did not hinder the Year of the Cat home- coming activities which coincided with the university's 60th birthday. The celebrations began with a fund-raising basketball game with the proceeds going towards remod- eling Shastais cage. Then. it was the kick-off ceremony which was held in Lynn Eusan Park. After a tug-of-war and a water ballon toss Cinco Dudes took to the stage to entertain the masses. The student events are spon- sored by campus organizations who are really involved in UH activities. Students ended the week of homecoming ac- tivities. minus a parade. with a dance hosted by the Alumni Organization.

After the bonfire - there was a choice of Casino Night or pep rally and video dance. with music and DJ donated by Hit Video USA. The week culminated in a 10-10 tie against Texas Tech. This was the first time that the Cougars had tied the Red Raiders since the teams started playing each other in 1981. A tie is not what we had in mind. UH Coach Jack Pardee said.

Houstonians played host to the King and Queen of Spain, who toured our world-famous Medical Center, and made a very special trip to the sculp- ture gardens at Hermann Park. There. King Carlos unveiled a sculpture of a fellow Spaniard. who had tremendous impact upon not only his own country. but ours as well. The sculpture was a gift from the Spanish government to the city to help celebrate the sesquicenten- niai. The bust was of explorer Cabeza de Vaca, an explorer of the 16th century. Attendants dressed in colonial costumes brightened the bleak. rainy scene. and the orchestra played tradi- tional Spanish tunes which seemed to stir up visions of past glory and addedan air of authenticity to the entire proceed- ings. The gift's appropriateness was en- hanced by the choice of its seulptress, Pilar Corteila de Rubin. a native of Se- ville. and a iong-time resident of Hous- ton. She is the wife of Spanish professor Walter Rubin. a former recipient of the King Carlos of Spain addresses a crowd- of dignitaries, including his wife. Queen Sophia.

But the fun of it all was designing that original outfit using that '20s skirt, that '505 sweater and those '60s earrings. Never a slave to fashion, photographer Joe Deltoyos rummaged through the local shops and presents his finds on these pages. He found most of his favorites were in the color black.

Bill Hobby acknowledged the university as one of the universities hardest hit by the legislative budget battle. He said that 7.4 percent faculty merit raises and two new superconductivity research funds provided in the budget demonstrate the state's com- mitment to education. Despite his emphasis on the role of higher education. Hobby predicted future funding for universities won't increase. He also said that tuition rates are likely to be raised again to raise revenue. Feminist citizens of the United States are committed to achieving social. religious, economic. and political equal- ity for women in the nation and the world. ttNo legislature or governor can create a great university. Only the university can create a climate where greatness can arise and prosper. We have here, at UH something that is a p p roa c h i n g a world-class re- search institution. - Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby 18 University of Houston ,l You can'tforce tech- nology transfer. but you can cultivate it and support it. And I must say that we in the United States. by al- lowing this to go on. by supporting it where it happens. have made a contribution. - Edward Teller Principal Ar- chitect of SDI Edward Teller is a well known and respected leader in the world of atomic and nuclear physics. Teller worked on the Manhattan Project in the development of the atomic bomb. After WWII he led the development of the hydrogen bomb. For the past 30 years Teller has workedl mainly on defense-related issues and is a principal ar- chitect of the Strategic Defense Initiative. Women in public office - whether they ever ac- tually labeled themselves tfemlnists e have con- sistently cared more in- tensely about so-called women's issues and have fought for passage . of legislation dealing with , them. e Eleanor Smeal Former Presi- dent of .National Organ- ization of Wom- en Was... Eleanor Smeal, past president of the National Organ- ization for Women. has been touring the country as the prime mover behind the Fund for a Feminist Majority. Feminists have a long tradition of fighting for equality. social and economic. justice, and peace. The 19th Cen- tury feminists, led by Lucretia Mott. Sojourner Truth. Harriet Tubman, Elizabeth Cady Staton, and Susan B. Anthony fought for women's suffrage and equality for social reforms such as the elimination of child labor. the promotion of temperance. public education. health care, human services and the abolition of slavery and the end of racism. Over the years. from 1970 to 19805 support for the women's movement efforts has gone from a bare plu- rality to a solid majority. Early 20th Century feminists were world leaders in the fight for women's suffrage and continued to fight against the excesses of the industrial revolution. They fought for fair labor standards. for social reforms to end poverty. and promote human services and world peace. The U.S. repeatedly attempted to back the Nicaraguan govern- ment, but in the ab- sence of any success, it tried backing the Cone tras. The U.S. never imagined the Contras are aforcefightingfor the U.S. - Jean Kirkpa- trick Former U.S. Ambassador to the UN The total compliance to a Central American peace accord by the Nicaraguan government is uncertain. said former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Jean Kirkpatrick. Despite the signing of the accord by the five Central American presidents. including Nicaragua's Daniel Or- tega, Nicaragua has been slower than its neighbors to implement reform. Signed Aug. 7, the accord calls for democratic reforms in each country as well as a system of political pluralism in all of Central America. The agreement also calls for free elections and a cease-fire in guerrilla wars by Nov. 7. Kirkpatrick. who served as UN. ambassador for the first four years of the Reagan administration. no longer holds political office. She said America's stake in Nic- aragua is greater than most people conceive. Whenever you think about the CIA, keep in mind money. because money is what it all comes down to. - Philip Agee former CIA of- ficer Former CIA officer. Philip Agee said that payoffs. tor- ture and the overthrow of foreign governments were just a few of the subversive activities he witnessed while with the CIA. After sewing 12 years. Agee resigned from the service in 1969. Agee was on campus promoting his book On the Run. He said that he was harassed by the CIA for his books and the agency attempted to take away his First Amendment rights by forcing him to keep a secrecy agreement about his work. A CIA spokesperson said that the Supreme Court has upheld the agencyts right to review material written by ClA agents so that it can protect its methods and contacts in the field. Agee said that the CIA operations in foreign countries are designed to weaken and destroy the opposition. usually made up of left-wing Democratic supporters, Socialists and Communists. The CIA continues to recruit at this university and 12 of the 14 people interviewed this fall were recruited. Speakers 19 20 . . . Or HOW It Should Yusaf lsmal. formerly Cat Stevens, spoke of the faith of Islam that frees the people from their political mas- ters. Stevens converted to Islam in 1977 and now lives as a devout Muslim with his wife and four children in Lon- don. He has been involved in religious education in London. He helped establish an Islamic primary school there and is involved in curriculum development for religious studies in state schools. Hlim very interested in education as a means of help- ing improve society, Yusuf said. Along with his religion, he looks to science for answers to life's questions. But life for him. Yusuf said, is his religion. not music. After converting from Christianity to Islam, Yusuf gave up music. His last concert was in 1979 for charity; he said he does not plan to return to music. He said that when he hears his old music today. It either embarrasses me or it confirms that I've taken the right step. Music doesn't change your life. What changes lye is when a person tries to develop himself as a better hu- man being. - Yusuflslam formerly Cat Stevens Pat Schroeder. the first presidential hopeful came to campus. spoke on issues from political involvement to- day. Schroeder. a democrat from Colorado, told the press that she would not announce her candidacy until she concluded her tour of the U.S. to measure her support. She said the Reagan administration is by. of and for the rich, rather than the people and urged student to keep involved in political issues by organizing groups of like-minded individuals. She also stressed her commitment to education by touching on current issues at UH. We canit forget the; quality of education for our children. starting with day care, right on up . . Schroeder said. You tell ipoliticiansl you're not dropping out. you don't get dis- couraged and you tell'em you're coming back and out organiz- ing against them. Boy. you'll get their atten- tion overnight. a P a t r i c i a Schroeder U.S. Represen- tative ID-ColoJ A love-hate relationship exists between journalist Al- exander Cockburn and the corporate press he ruthlessly attacks. The same mainstream media he condemns con- tinues to publish his syndicated column. The Wall Street Journal runs his column every third week, and he writes for publications of such divergent readership as The Nation, L.S. Weekly, American Film and House and Garden. ttl'm the token left of the Wall Street Journal, Cockburn told the audience. itThey want me to be crazy . . . defend child torture . . . The best response was when I attacked God . . . over 4900 letters. In 1963, after graduating with honors from Oxford University, he followed the footsteps of his father, Claud Cockburn, one of Britainis most famous left-wing re-i porters, into a journalism career. He spent time in Lon-l don working on various democratically-managed pub-i lications and ten years later became a columnist for the' Village Voice. He targeted his reader. tta hippie taxicab; driver. and perfected his role as the smart ass snottyi Brit. He writes that. contrary to popular belief and jour-t nalism school curricula journalism has nothing to do Be with the truth or historical reality: it only consists of continuing the reassurance of popular media-created myths. The media excludes reality by excluding the unexpected. the unpalatable and the surprising. And thus. it annuls history, espe- cially in foreign news coverage. a A l e x a n d e r Cockburn Wall Street Columnist Democratic presidential hopeful Jesse Jackson urged UH students to emulate slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King by battling drug abuse and vowed to eco- nomically rejuvenate the South. The appearance was one of Jacksonts last campaign stops on his sweep through the South on the eve of Super Tuesday primaries. Jackson reminded his supporters of the battle for racial equality in the 19605 and asked for similar ded- ication from today's youth in combating social problems like drug abuse, drug-related violence and teenage preg- Drugs.

He advised minorities not to use their color as a crutch. It's not about race. it's about the barracudas vs. the smaller fish. Is there sleaze In Washington? You bet there is sleaze in Washington. Is there dishonesty in Wash- ington? You bet there ls. Do the Republicans have the monopoly on it? You bet they don't It goes with the territo- ry. - William Ben- nett U.S. Secretary of Education Integrity and the lack thereof in Washington as well as his ideas on education were the topics of discussion for William Bennett. Bennett said when he was teaching at the university level. he and his students were particularly interested in the founding fathers' views of the need for virtue in government. They often worried about and asked themselves if one could be in high-level politics and still be honest. he said. Bennett conceded that there is a fair amount of de- pravity. a fair amount of self-interest. a fair amount of conspiracy against the public good. and, also, some fair amount of virtue and character and reliability. Character in government is a legitimate worry and the virtue he has seen in some people has not at all limited their effectiveness. which is a good sign. he said. Bennett said he was advised in his first days in Wash- ington to keep his integrity intact by rejecting attempts of special interests to get insider favors from him. Oth- erwise. those wanting favors would haunt him during his entire career. he was told. If you dance with them once. you'll be asked to dance again. 21 The theme for the Houston Interna- tional Festival was Australia, but partic- ipation in the two- week event was truly international.

The Menil Collection features art from the paleolithic era to the present and was assembled by Dominique de Menil and her late husband, John de Menil. The collection comprises four primary areas; antiquities, Byzantine art, art of tribal cultures and twentieth-century art. It is neither comprehensive in any one, nor does the combination offer an art historical survey in the way that en- cyclopedic museums do. The second floor contains the storage space for the permanent collection. The paintings and the objects are readily available to scholars and students by appointment, which serves to reem- phasize the importance the Menil C01- lection places on individual communion with the art. 28 University of Houston Dominique de Menil was born in 1908 in the Alsace region of France to the Schlumberger family. Her father and un- cle founded the Schlumberger business to locate oil deposits. It grew to become the world,s largest oil field service com- pany and de Menil is now regularly listed in the Forbes 400 with assets of more than $200 million.

The Art Department had been asked to come up with a plan to move the graduate painting studios housed at Lawndale into the old Art and Archi- tecture Annex on campus. One of the problems art faculty and physical plant personnel faced was how to squeeze 21,000 square feet of studio space at Lawndale into half as much at ARA, a miserable, leaky pre-World War II Quonset hut that once was an army tank garage. After months of work on pre- liminary plans, the art faculty were told by memo that the studios would not be moved after all. A move would have de- voured most of the half-million dollar fund budgeted for just such an exigency. Lawndale wasntt exactly a prize struc- ture, either. The old building had long been under scrutiny from City of Hous- ton officials who had found tire and building code violations everywhere. On- ly the fact that the State of Texas owned it had prevented the city from shutting it down. Indeed, some faculty and staff de- plored the university's continued use of Lawndale, since people often became ill from the extreme temperatures or the poor ventilation. President Richard Van Horn toured the facility after one stu- dent injured herself by falling through a grate-covered hole in the floor. Lawndale was, however, a place with more studio space than likely would be found anywhere else on campus. Art De- partment Chair Michael Taylor said that the problem was not going to be resolved properly until a new fine arts building could be funded and construct- ed. uI hope that happens while I'm still around? he said. e- Paul Binz City Life 29 Jessica - I was there too. What was it like to be there, you know with all those people trying to see her, what was it like? Well that question is always asked when someone finds out I was on the Jessica McClure scene. The answer is always the same, tlEh, it was just another story? Well that's what a good reporter is supposed to say - isnt it? The problem is it wasnt just an- other story. Unlike a Violent West Bank uprising, or mass murder in a quiet neighborhood, this story generated a sort of new found hope in our fellow man. From the start of Jessicals plight people could tell it was going to be a different kind of story. Jess sica wasnt the first person to be trapped down a well and prob- ably won't be the last. No, it wasn't the fact she was in there. JESSI The events that took place above ground were what really made the news. Until 1984 Midland, TX had been a booming oil community, but as oil prices dropped so did the towns economy and spirit, or so many thought. On an early October morning, Midland and the world would see that spirit and more revived, and many lives would be forever changed. A thirteen-month-old child had fallen down an abandoned water well. Help was needed. It came from everywhere. No one knew how she had fallen in, or why the well was so accessible to her. For that matter no one knew very much. Not that questions wer- en't being asked, they were. The major concern of the moment was, she is still alive so letls get her out of the well. At first, the seventeeneyear-old Initial attempts to save the life of 13-month-old Jessica McClure. 30 University of Houston mother was unavailable for com- ment. Later, police and relatives convinced uSissy , as Jessica's mother was known, that it would be a good idea to explain why her daughter was in the well. Apparently the mother and the aunt had been running a small day care center in the auntis home. That particular morning Sissy had been watching the children playing in the backyard. She left Jessica and two other girls playing in the backyard while she went to the bathroom. When she returned Jessica was nowhere to be found. Fire rescue units arrived almost as fast as the news people. Cu- rious onlookers were not far be- hind. Within hours the once qui- et neighborhood was transformed into a major specs tacle. Police from other West Texas towns volunteered equip- ment and manpower to control the crowds. The news wires began to sing all over the nation and the world that a baby had fallen into an abandoned well, and rescuers were trying to dig her out. At first the rush of newsmen to West Texas was attributed to a slow newsday. Then the real rea- son became apparent, neighbor. friend, countrymen, inhabitants of the planet earth had become linked to little Jessicals plight and offered to help. At first, people were just curious, then they became emotionally involved with the situation in the small town in West Texas. Peo- ple didnlt even complain when Wheel of Fortune was pre- empted two nights in a row for live updates from the scene. Delving deeper for Jessicals rescue. What people were seeing and what was going on was a whole different situation. Minutes after the rescue had started the word was, Hit will only be an hour or so and well have her out. Just an hour or so turned into days. Men and machines crowded into an alley each to be used in extrac- tion of Jessica from the well. Calls from all over the world came to local television stations, newspapers and anyone who would listen with ideas on how to get her out of the well. Those well wishers had been following the story through the eyes of the hundreds of press people, who were camped out in several back yards adjacent to the one con- taining J essicals well. From the first afternoon when only a handful of local reporters had gathered to find out how things were progressing, to the zombies standing vigil over lad- ders thrust into the chilled desert night air, the entire rescue had been told and shown repeatedly to the world. Every step in Jese sicals underground interment was scrutinized by them, every planned rescue was questioned. Those same people stayed awake every hour, not because the res- cuers were doing the same, they didn't want someone else to get the best camera shot or an ex- clusive interview that they could have gotten. Even the local news stations kept their people on the scene around the clock. Camera- men stayed, the talent went home and changed and show- ered. They used interns like me to get food from the Red Cross stand, hold cameras while the operator traipsed off to a port-a- potty, or reclined on a doghouse to take some of the strain off hislher back.

Men and women were vying for the highest ladders, best live location and most secluded, tgive me a breakl, spot for an exclusive in- terview. When Jessica was finally brought to the surface, the world wept a tear ofjoy, but for the press the story only took another twist. Those questions about how Jes- sica managed to get in the well came up again, tas if no one ever stopped askingll even when Oprah Winfrey came to town people stood up and asked on national television. The question was never really answered, charges of neglect were brought against Jessicals parents, then dropped. Now pro- ducers want to make a made-for- television movie about the ex- perience. As predicted the town has been turned into a turmoil of opposing views brought on by different memories of a spirited rescue. But for the one that matters the most, little Jessica, she has been spared any further hardship. At her youthful age when reporters ask her a question she can only say Pooh-Bear and grin. Jessica's story is far from over. she will always be known as the Poor Little Well Baby, whose plight took people's mind off their own problems and caused at least for a moment the spirits of one little community to sour once again. e ALLEN MANNING Jessica and parents leave the hospital.

Due to a variety of reasons, the 1987 year- book was not released on time. The problems associated with the 1987 Houstonianis publication in- cluded delays in meeting deadlines, pages that the publisher, Jostenls, claimed it never received, and con- troversy over two nude photographs and a sexually explicit essay on 976 numbers.

Nevertheless, before publication, three items were returned to Wayne Scott, Manager of Student Publica- tions, and also the administration of the University, questioning their in- clusion in the book. Both photos depicted nude or semi-nude women and were included in photo essays. One was a concert photograph taken of the Buttonhole Surfers, an Austin-based band with a topless GoGo dancer in the back- ground. The other was from an ex- hibit in the Blaffer Gallery.

It was written by a student who had taken a job as a phone sex operator. Mark Lacy, Editor of the 1987 Houstonian, said, uthe photo tBarker with Jackl was included in a spread of other art work exhibits and there is no reason for it to be con- sidered pornography or sensational- ism. The essay, Lacy felt, was relevant because it related to the problems of 976 numbers which came to light in 1987. Scott says he never told the Hous- tonian staff that they ucould not put this in tthe bookl. I told them that people will remember the controver- sial 10W; and nothing more? When questioned about the delay in the printing of the book after all materials had been-submitted, Jos- tenis representative Mike Cus- tonborder replied, liwe are currently working with Mr. Scott to work out the logistics of setting a delivery date of the book to the campus. The book arrived on December 18, the last day of iinals for the fall se- mester. It was distributed when classes resumed in the spring. -Lara Schultz l v, 't l Student Life 33 miammam$ 21m EEA43$ QMH 375E 1th EEEB mamas; a:ammmamm THE REAGAN PI-HLOSOPHY WELL ,THE y ARE WNTTEIV IN 5TONE.. ..

Constitution 37 THIRD AMENDMEN T The Third Amendment states uNo soldiers shall, in time of peace, be quartered in any house without the consent of owner, or in time of war, but in a manor to be prescribed by law, this leads up to the right of privacy that is guaranteed in the Fourth Amendment. It is the right, said Griffith, that Americans place a lot of value in, more so than most other nations. He attributed the high value of privacy to the early Amer- icans. As a rural country peo- ple wanted to be left alone. Cit- izens wanted no government intervention into either their business or private lives. In the 20th century we are not quite as jealous of our pri- vacy because we have given up so much for modern life, said Griffith. Both government and pri- vate business collect large fact sheets on every American. The government collects fi- 38 University of Houston nancial information for social security and taxes. Private business collects similar infor- mation, but also compiles per- sonal information, such as past jobs, residences, mar- riages, and current relation- ships. What once would have angered Americans, now has become a way of life. according to Griffith. After years of quartering Sol- diers. and destructive search- es by other soldiers looking fox all kinds of evidence, the founding fathers wanted tc make a statement. Griffith be- lieves this statement to be Your home is your castle, you do not get searched except with a judicial process, he added. itlt is clear the Fourth Amendment has a price, it would certainly be a lot easier to catch criminals, if the police could walk into your house anytime they wanted and look at anything they wanted The price is Individual Free- dom.

Yet. recent Supreme Court rulings have begun to eat away at this most fundamen- tal of rights, said Griffith. He said that recent judicial inter- pretations centers on reducing the Exclusionary Rules Power. The Fourth Amendment's Exclusionary Rule states that itpersons shall not be Violat- ed, and no warrants shall is- sue, but upon probable cause supported by oath or affirma- tion, and particularly describ- ing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. Simply put, the police or any entity can not search a person or their possessions without due cause andior a warrant. The law also reads that any evidence obtained illegally or without a warrant is not ad- missible in a court of law. ltYou are not simply a pawn in the hands of law enforce- ment? said Griffith. People do not realize often enough just how extensive a right the Fourth Amendment is. What the Fourth Amend- ment does is protect citizens from their own government, said Dr. Jerry Franks, profes- sor of Philosophy and Political Science at Midland Junior Col- lege. Where the First Amendment guarantees free speech and freedom of expression, the Fourth Amendment protects that right through the preven- tion of wire-tapped conversa- tions iprivacyi and requiring search warrants for home and papers isecurityi without probable cause. 'The Fourth Amendment is violated every day on the streets of Houston, in terms of officers doing searches they should not be doing, said Griffith. When such searches consist of stopping individuals and conducting individual search and immediate proper- ty, such as a car. These are supposedly in the publicis in- terest. From the illegal stop and search, to the search of a house or business, but noth- ing, according to Griffith, is as controversial as drug testing and lie detector testing at this moment. Both drug and lie de- tector tests have proven faulty, yet federal officials have made urine testing man- datory for some employment positions. The question posed by Civil Libertarians is is it an un- reasonable search and sei- zure' for the government to re- quire you as a condition of employment, or of some other participation in government facilities. to have your body in- spected and your urine tested for drugs?, said Griffith. It will be up to the next ses- sion of the Supreme Court to decide if drug testing is a breach of Fourth Amendment rights, he said. Presently before the Su- preme Court. the Treasury Employees Union represents a case on behalf of US. Customs Agents, who are subjected to urine testing before consider- ation for promotions. The Su- preme Court's ruling on this case will see precedence for years to come, said Griffith. The decision will decide whether the Fourth Amend- ment rights will be strength- ened or further broken down. As to the future of the Fourth Amendment. Griffith said, we should look to the past. The founding fathers passed the amendment in re- sponse to years of oppression by another government.

Due process of law. the right to a speedy trial: fundamental rights passed down by word of mouth under saxon rula er in ancient England and protected in writing by the Bill of Rights which guar- antees individual freedom to all Amer- icans. according to Rosenberg. Professor of Law at UH's law school. These rights presumed as fundamen- tal by many Americans. are not so fun- damental in other countries. said Rosenberg. Nations like italy and Turkey have a system of assumed guilt. A person is guilty unless proven innocent. and they can linger in prison for years before being brought to trial. The Fifth Amendment reads. uNo per- son shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment of a grand jury except in cases arising in land or naval forces. or in the militia. when in actual service in time of war or public danger: nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be wit- OLUMIIA 40 University of Houston ness against himself. nor be deprived of life. liberty. or property without due pro- cess of law: nor shall private property be taken for public use without just eoms pensation. The Fifth enumerates each right. so as not to leave anything to question. ac cording to Robert Palmer. Cullen Pro- fessor of History and Law at UH. The need to actually spell out the rights of individuals is more than Palmer eluded to. According to Rosenberg many Americans are not well informed of their rights and for years many were refused their most basic rights under the Con- stitution. it was the Miranda Decision in the ear- ly '60s that stirred up the greatest cone troversy on the interpretation of the Con- stitution. said Rosenberg. the Miranda opened a virtual pandora's box. The decision guarantees that a person must be instructed on their individual rights. and if that is not done before a confession is solicited then the confes- sion is not valid. The Miranda ruling also lists the rights the accused has to coun- sel before questioning begins. While Fifth Amendment enumerated rights cover the accusing method of the suspect. and the right that illegally so- licited information and unconditionally silence can't be used against a person in a court of law. the Sixth Amendment rights go one step further. SIXTH AMENDMENT The Sixth reads. 'tln all criminal pres. eeutions. the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial. by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been com. mitted: which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation: to be confronted with the witnesses against him: to have compul- sory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor. and to have the assistance for his defense. Rosenberg called the Sixth. i'the right to counsel amendment. With protection of an expedient trial. guarantee to an impartial jury. and right to solicit wit- nesses enumerated in this amendment: the strongest point to be noted, said Rosenberg. 'is the right that every per- son in the United States no matter how poor or rich has the right to counsel. Many Americans were formerly never made aware of their enumerated rights, especially those pertaining to the right of- counsel. numerous persons were there- fore unjustly incarcerated. said Rosenberg. 409 SUPERIOR G OF THli .

With Miranda reading required at the time of arrest. suspects in criminal ac- tions are now abridged of their right to all aspects of protection under the Consti- tution. said Rosenberg. Palmer noted the significance of the Sixth. in his opinion. lays in the designation of the right to trial by: that jury being of the accused peers. But it doesn't determine in what court the case shall be tried. that right is enumerated in the Seventh. SEVENTH AMENDMEN T In suits of common law. where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars. the right of trial by jury shall be preserved. and no fact tried by a jury shall be otherwise re-examined in any court of the United States. then accord- ing to the rules of the common law. This. the Seventh Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America. is one of the least sighted of rights guaranteed to the people. In as much as most citizens recognize their right to a trial by an impartial jury ias stated in the Sixth Amendmenti the Sev- enth Amendment reads rather vague. According to Palmer. t'The Seventh is a liberty protecting device. and the monetary value it describes is no longer effective. While the monetary require- ment for Federal lawsuits has gone from $20. mentioned by the amendment. to a $10,000 minimum today. the purpose of the article has little change. The value of a jury trial is in favor of liberty and not justice. it preserves the right of the people to strike back at gov- ernment. said Palmer. In the 18th century when this amend- ment was conceived, the authors of the Bill of Rights intentions dated back to the Zinger or trial. According to Palmer. a colonial governor had tried to circum- vent common law jury by resorting to equity. By not using juries. the gov- ernor could direct the outcome of the trial. The problem arose again. said Palmer. right before the American Revolution when people wanted to put British troops accused of wrongs on trial by jury. The problem here being that the jury was not interested in the facts. just who the per- son was. That is why a trial by jury be- came a protector of liberty and not jus- tice as commonly believed. The protection of liberty of the indi- vidual from the state. according to Palm- er. is the reason for this constitutional amendment. The conscience of the people. it was felt can better judge the circumstances. within the law's definition. Washington. DC. has more homeless per cap- ita than any other state. Photo by Mark Lacy. Constitution 41 AMEN DMEN T Where the Sixth and Seventh Amendments guarantee the rights of the accused to a swift and expedient trial by jury, the Eighth Amendment guarantees that any punishment dealt by that my will not be exces- sive in accor ance to the offense. It is from the point of arrest through the point of incarceration that the Eighth Amendment covers. The Eighth Amendment states. excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed. nor cru- el and unusual punishments inflict- ed. Although, excessive bail is quite often the lawyers pre-trial plea in court when requesting the suspects release until trial and conviction and excessive fines, the complaint which quite often gives cause for new trials. It is the cruel and unusual punish- ment clause which causes the great- est amount of commotion. according 42 University of Houston EIGHTH to Rosenberg. She said the Eighth Amendment is the avenue not used by inmates, when attempting litigation against a state for improper medical care and callous treatment while incarcerat- ed. The State of Texas is currently un- der indictment by a federal judge. The problem, overcrowding in the State Prisons. Inmates were claim- ing it is cruel and unusual punish- ment to have three men in a two man cell, the court agreed. In Ruize vs. The State of Texas, the judge for the federal court appointed an to oversee the repopulating of Texas' prisons. Yet the Eighth Amendment has been applied to cases other than criminal. In the Supreme Court Case of Ephram vs. Wright i1976I, the use of corporal punishment Ipaddlingl in schools. came up. In this instance the parents of a student whose pun- ishment in school was so severe, he spent time in a doctor's care. The parents brought suit under the un- usual punishment provision. They alleged that the excessive paddling constituted cruel and unusual pun- ishment. Even though the court dis- agreed that the punishment was not excessive in relation to the cause. it is still recognized as an Eighth Amendment case. The Eighth Amendment owes its historical basis to the ancient. star chamber in England. accordingto Palmer. The iistar chamber, Palmer not- ed, is non common law kind of court that did not use juries ianothet tie to the Sixth and Seventh Amend- mentsl, but because they could not use juries they could not inflict the death penalty. So for exemplary reasons. to make examples for people, they 511t the criminals noses. and cut their ears off. The star chamber continued on until Parliament took over from King Charles I. It was the resulting ill- feelin s and all together disdain for star 0 amber suppression that led to the Eighth Amendment. Clarence Brandley is still on death row in a Texas prison. Photos by Michael Williams, The questions a Supreme Court jud e must answer when confronted wit an Eighth Amendment case are: Is the penalty imposed exces- sive, does the penalty meet with so- ciety's norm, does the penalty per- mit modern justice to infuse? Each question must also be an- swered by lower courts. according to Rosenberg, when handing out pun- ishment. Americans constitutional authors felt strongly enough that they tied this amendment to the other to pre- vent government from over running the people. according to Palmer. NINTH AMENDMEN T The Ninth Amendment to the Con- stitution was added to the Bill of Rights to protect the assumed rights of the people over the enumerated rights of the state and federal gov- ernments, according to Rosenberg. The Ninth. Rosenberg said, ap- plies to the unwritten laws we live by. those laws which are the morals of society. To explain she cited the case of Goldberg and Griswald vs. the State of Connecticut 0965i. The argument centered on the use of contracep- tives in relation of a married couple. Connecticut had legislated laws for- bidding the use of any type of con- traceptive by persons married or not. As one person put it ulegislative mo- rality ! These are as Rosenberg not- ed, assumed rights outside of those written in the constitution, that must be protected. Those unwritten, implied, laws are the ones people live by from day to day with no real need of police ac- tion, according to Rosenberg. For ex- ample: it is understood that when a person kills another, they have not only broken the written or common law, but the moral code. Even before Moses wrote down the Ten Com- mandments, it was understood that murder was an anti-soeial behavior. and must be corrected. What the Ninth Amendment does is belay the fears of a paranoid pop- ulous that felt government would over run the people. As Rosenberg put it. lithe Bill of Rights tells us the majority can not do all they want. The Ninth Amendment put it sim- ply into the language of an earlier generation. Thus the Ninth Amend- ment reads. The enumeration in the constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the peo- ple. The final say belongs to the peo- TENTH AMEN DMEN T The Ninth Amendment to the Con- stitution was designed to protect the individual's rights if the state was over run by the Federal Government. according to Palmer. The Tenth Amendment. however. was designed to prevent the Federal Government from circumventing the states' rights and thereby taking control of all aspects of governing the people and the need to implement the Ninth Amendment. The Tenth Amendment states. t'The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution. nor prohibited by it to the states. are reserved to the States respectively. or to the people. James Madison. one of the fram- ers of the Constitution. tried to ex- plain the reason for a Tenth Amend- ment and the Constitution. He said. A dependence of the people is no doubt the primary control on the government; but experience has taught mankind the necessity of auxiliary precautions. While Madison was originally ar- guing for the need of checks and bal- ances in the government itself: be was inadvertently arguing for the need of a bill of rights. the tenth in particular. As Madison put it. iilf men were angels. no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. It is for that precise rea- son the enumerated protection of the Tenth Amendment is called for. Palmer brought out the Supreme Court's ruling on the constitution- ality of the New Deal legislation. It was not a denial of the need of such programs. but the way in which it was done. the court said. The par- ticular areas that Federal programs had taken over. belonged in the do- main of the states. The Supreme Court held that the Tenth Amendment stipulated only certain things could be done by the Federal Government. the rest are up to the state. However, Palmer notes that Su- preme Court rulings in recent years have drifted away from that theme. Recent rulings open more leeway for federal intervention in state affairs and affairs of private citizens. Madison summed up the Tenth Amendment and the purpose behind this nation with this: It is of great importance in a republic. not only to guard the society against the oppres- sion of its rulers; but to guard one part of the society against the in- justices of the other part. - Allen Manning Constitution 43 80M the penple, hg the penple anti fur the peuple . . X, STILL DOESNlT MEAN WOMEN It is outrageous that women do not have equal protection under the law guaranteed to them in 1988. The strugg for that guarantee is as old as the nation. Our founding mother, Abigail Adams, threatened her husband J ohn, 8 women are determined to foment a rebellion if the founding fathers did not build equality of rights intot constitution. J ohn and his cronies failed to take her threat seriously, and the result has been 200 years of politicd rebellion on the part of women. Womenls resistance has been against the denial of basic constitutional rights; their rebellion has been simply to treated as citizens of a republic. As suffragists wrote in their protest document, ttThe Declaration of Rights Women in 1876: uWe ask of our rulers, at this hour no special favors, no special privileges, no special legislation. We ask justice, we ask equality, we ask that all the civil and political rights that belong to citizens of the United States, be guaranteed to us and our daughters forever? It was a dream that was not to materialize. Not having the protection of equal rights built into the foundation document of the country, women have found the rights they have painstakingly won swept away at the whim of male politicians. An all-male Congress celebrated the centennial of the constitution in 1887 by taking suffrage away fron the women of Utah Territory by a congressional act; Ronald Reagan has been quite successful in eliminating affirmative action. Of the people . . . The most simple and fundamental rights have taken mountain-moving energy. The most basic right of citizenship, the ballot, won in 1920, took thousands of women seventy years of constant struggle to finally wrest from a hypocritical republic which prided itself on being based on the uconsent 0f the governed? Suffragists refusel! to pay their taxes: ttaxation without representation is tyrannyt, they voted and were arrested for breaking the law when they did, they petitioned, protested, and took their claims all the way to the Supreme Court. That noble bod! of nine learned men unanimously decided that being a citizen of the United States did not carry with it the inherent right of suffrage, not for women. f 80f the people, by the people, and for the peoplett still does not include women, and our descendants 100 yean from now at the tricentennial of the constitution, are going to ask how we could possibly have allowed the injustice W continue so long.

Would you let your picture be taken at a March for Les- bian and Gay Rights? Chances are your answer will relate to the risks associated with being labeled as a lesbian or gay, whether you are or not. The National Organization for Women-NOW, Inc., founded in 1966 to obtain equal rights for women, had moved by 1971 to the position that lesbian rights must also be fought for. Many of those who supported what was then a very radical position, saw it strictly in terms of its civil rights as ects, i.e. every wom- an may be threatened by be- ing labeled a lesbian and thus every womanls rights as an individual are at risk. As NOW members studied and thought about the issue, it very soon became evident that lesbian rights were more than just a civil rights issue - lesbians, by relating to women, challenge the tradi- tional idea that women must be primarily defined in rela- tion to men. Historically, many women who defied the llrulesfl who did not marry at a respectable age, who main- tained an independent lifes- tyle, were called lesbians and were ostracized accordingly. Heterosexual women and men in NOW came to see the lesbian rights issue as their'l issue too and not just an issue for lesbian members. And giv- en NOWls mandate to elim- inate discrimination based on sex, lesbian rights soon be- came lesbian and gay rights. So in 1987, six NOW mem- bers decided to attend a con- ference at Geor e Washing- ton University t WUl on the legal rights of lesbian women 46 University of Houston and gay men and also to par- ticipate in the march the weekend following. On the I had been called a lesbian often enough for my mil- itant feminism that it didn 't mat- ter, but I could re- member times when it did. - Jo Ann Evansgardner plane to Washington, we talked about what it might mean to us in our individual lives, because one of the NOW members who attended the march was Michael Wil- liams, the Cougar photogra- pher. We were excited to be goa ing, but more or less appre- hensive. We knew we would probably appear in the Cou- gar. Speaking for myself, I had been called a lesbian of- ten enough for my militant feminism that it didnlt mat- ter, but I could remember times in the past when it did. We all agreed that is was a risk we had to take a as long as people can be oppressed, members of organizations committed to fighting an op- pression have to speak up. That is the meaning of be- ing a feminist - an advocate - someone who at the very least, speaks up in support of the issues they believe in. We learned a lot at the seminar at GWU. Mostly, we learned how very much there is to do to secure equal rights for lesbian women and gay men. Beyond the obvious, it is impossible to legalize a lov- ing partnership. If one part- ner is incapacitated, the other may be totally isolated from him tor herl by a society that does not recognize their right to commitment to each other, as in the current case with Dr. Karen Thompson and Shar- on Kowalski. Same sex couples face ma- jor difficulties in securing fair rates in insurance, health in- surance for partners, in in- heritance matters, in immi- gration situations, and loans for major purchases. Also, there are legal hazards for les- biansl mother and child re- lationships, and in 24 states with archaic laws governing private consensual sexual ac- tivity among adults, fines and imprisonment are a night- marish possibility. continued l r. f ' ' 5 .

Everett Koop. has announced that nicotine is physically addicting in the same way that cocaine and heroin are and that treatment for addiction should be more widely available. He has called for an addictive warning on cigarette labels and ad- vertising. Koop has also recommend- ed that laws be enacted restricting the sale of tobacco products to mi- nors. The first surgeon general's report on smoking was issued in 1964. In 1966. according to the Federal Center for Disease Control. 422 per- cent of the American population smoked: in 1986 26.5 percent did. Today almost 50 million still light up. On April 23. a federal ban was placed on the nations domestic air- line flights of two hours or less. 80 percent of all flights in the conti- nental U.S. Northwest Airlines took the ban a step further and forbids smoking on all of the North Amer- ican flights. - Lara Schultz Even though the numbers speak for them- selves. young Americans continue to light up.

If someone is for mally committed to a particular viewpoint, his statements ought to be examined with a grain of salt. If he is not on solid in- tellectual ground, if he has something truly fundamental to hide, he'll try to control himself, and not allow uthe cat out of the bag. A Webster dic- tionary defines a demagogue as someone pretend- ing to be ua leader who makes use of popular prejudices and false claims and promises in or- der to gain power? It is strictly up to the listener to de- tect contradictions and inconsistencies however, and to protect his mind from being taken advantage of. And it's thus of fundamental importance for an individual to develop a trained intelligence and informed criteria for detecting a demagoguels smokescreen and lack of substance, as well as a skill to learn to ask the right questions to uncover the truth. The main difference between a speaker and a demagogue, as the Webster defi- nition explains, is the ultimate goal. The goal of a bona fide speaker is to educate his audience, to relate a unique experience or knowledge acquired over the years of hard serious work. The speakers ultimate goal is to arouse interest in his subjects of in- quiry, and he can do so only by furnishing specific information of value to his au- dience, that is not commonly known. A bona fide speaker, above all, appeals to his listenersl intellect. He offers insights based on solid, objective, demonstrable evidence he is able to cite support of his views. His goal is not to induce an action, but to make the public informed, it will, of necessity, to follow the proper course. Its reason will be the force that becomes the motive. The demagogue, on the other hand, ap- peals to peoplels emotions. He makes them feel aroused or guilty, and tries to induce them to act irrationally. A personls reason is a protector of his well-being, it is a tool by which he iden- tifies his proper interests. A demagogue is rated by single criteria - by his ability to arouse people emotionally and cripple their ability to think clearly. Emotional excitation, particularly of fear, is the only 58 University of Houston photo by Richard Schmidt Photo by Richard Schmidt. way a person can be induced to accept demagogueis assertions on faith, withouta check of his premises, and start actin irrationally, contrary to his best interests and against the bet- ter judgement that his reason dictates. There are two major types of a standard contem- porary demagogue: ttreligious and usocial. The goal of a ttsocial dem- agogue is to arouse a herd instinct, to induce his audience to jump on the band wagon, to make them ttperform as a group, one after an- other. He aims to arouse a peer pres- sure that propels a person to perform acts that are ridic- ulous or unneces- sary, but can be dangerously self- destructive, for the alleged benefit or iientertainment of the group. A tlreligiousil demagogue, on the other hand, assumes that his audience feels guilty and seeks forgiveness for no ap- parent reason and his aim is to make it feel more guilty, and, again, make it do some thing based on that guilt, usually self- destructive. The common side of the Wow that neither can tell his audience anything that it does not already know, or has not heard many times over. The demagogues trick is not in what he says, but how he can bring it to such level of excitation that It loses all sense of reality and self-controL and is iipreparedii to follow a leader un- conscious of the direction in which he leads. The demagogue's aim is to play 011.1390' ple,s emotions, to capitalize on their 13' norance, to exploit them for the purpose of gaining power. He gets that power after he manages to gain control of his flocks 6.1110' tions and can thus compel it to do things that are demonstrably stupid just because he has told them so. . One way to expose a demagogue 15 to catch him off guard, when he inadvertently admits what it is that he is really after. - Fabian Vaksman Religion 59 Black Death of the i805 Acquired Immune Deficiency Syn- drome, known as the Black Death of the l80sf is a mysterious virus that at- tacks the body's immune system and leaves the person vulnerable to death by any number of lesser viruses. AIDS, as it has become called, has been likened to the blackdeath of the 14th century because of the mysterious mode of transmission, the violence per- petrated on those listed as high risk groups, and the ignorance of the pop- ulace as a whole. Religious zealots have repeatedly claimed that God has sent the AIDS virus as punishment for promiscuity and homosexuality. It was also the church that claimed that God had sent the blackdeath to punish Europe for allow- ing nonchristians to exist in their midst. The scientific community says that the disease which seems to have orig- inated in Africa, comes from unknown J' 60 University of Houston origin, but claim that it isn't a pun- ishment sent from God to smite an evil world. They claim that ignorance is the primary reason that the disease has not been contained. Whatever the reason, no matter who claims to know why AIDS has destroyed countless lives, the problem is still the same. The disease is spreading through the world like Chicken Pox spread through the native American Indians in the 19th century. Ignorance has only helped spread AIDS throughout the worlds population in an incredibly short time. The first cases in the US. were re- ported in 1981. Since then many Amer- icans have felt the blow of AIDS either personally or by association. The American Medical Association released figures that claimed the cost of caring for AIDS patients in the '803 and ,908 will more than triple. They also said that an effective vac- cine is years from perfection at this time, for they are only just now understanding how the virus works. However, it is not the cost that is the problem. AIDS is thought to be trans- mitted through sexual contact, intrave- nous drug use and blood transfusions. Each method brings more people into contact with the virus than would nor- mally have been put at risk. High-risk groups include homosexu- als, bisexual men, intravenous drug users and prostitutes; but when doctors treat an injured person in a hospital and that person is an AIDS carrier, he risks contracting the virus, when a person sets up the needle for a blood transfusion within the AIDS carrier another person i is put at risk, the list goes on and on. Each of these people could reduce . their risk of contracting the virus through proper protection. In the case of medical personnel. the extremes tn protection have seen men In four pairs of surgical gloves three masks. plastic eye goggles. and wrapped in several surgery scrubs. From the extremes of medical pro- fessionals in self-protection. to the lack of using a single rubber device during sex. AIDS is evading capture and suppression because of both lg- norance and laziness. - Allen Manning The gay community lends Itself to consider- able support for AIDS education and research.

He is unaware Valentine's Day has come and gone. His name was Earl. He was ho- mosexual. and he had AIDS. He died Feb. 23, 1988. Some students don't think they could die from the so-called 'ifag dis- ease. Doctors say theyire wrong. Young adults especially those aged 19 to 25. seem to think they are immortal. said Robert Awe, chief of pulmonary medicine at Jeff Davis Hospital. i'We tat the AIDS unitJ see more and more heterosexuals in their mid-to-late 205. I have a female patient at present who has had four sex partners. To her knowledge all were heterosexual and had no con- tact with intravenous drugs. and she has AIDS. So far, the infection rate of AIDS in heterosexuals has been relatively low in the United States. According to some medical professionals and the results ofa campus survey, how- ever. the number may increase. The majority of 500 students at UH indicated in a recent survey con- cerning their sexual behavior that they do not believe they are at risk for contracting AIDS. Participants in the survey were not randomly se- lected and therefore the results are not necessarily representative of the student body as a whole.i Doctors. however. said that if stu- dents dont take precautions, the in- fectiOus rate among their age group could increase dramatically. Joshua M. Gold. a Houston inter- nal medicine and immunology spe- cialist. said that AIDS in the het- erosexual community is a pressing matter. iilf they iyoung adultsl don't alter their lifestyles, there will be ir- reversible damage done. he said. By the age 21. the average number of sexual partners of those polled was seven. William Masters and Vir- ginia Johnson, noted researchers in the area of sexual behavior consider six partners numerous. Yet only 14 percent of those sur- veyed here felt they might be at risk for contracting AIDS. Gold is one of the many who ad- vocate safe sex as a means of avoid- ing infection of the virus. which means preventing the exchange of body fluids such as blood, semen, urine, and stool. Using a condom during high-risk sexual activities, or abstention, Gold said, are the only known precautions against coming in contact with the body fluids that carry the AIDS virus. UH students. however, have not been heeding this advice. Of those polled. 52 percent indicated that they never use condoms during in- tercourse, 33 percent use them only sometimes and 15 percent declined to answer the question. According to the Center for Dis- ease Control in Atlanta ICDCL there have been 56,115 reported cases of AIDS in the United States as of March 21. 1988. Awe spoke about three waves of victims of the AIDS epidemic: gay and bisexual men. intravenous drug users and their partners. and 19-25 year old heterosexual adults. uWe won't see the true impact for another seven to 10 years. Awe said. referring to the latency period of the disease. uThe people that are dying now contracted the virus when they were aged 19-35. Recent figures from the CDF show that 2,254 of the cases reported are diagnosed in heterosexuals a 1,228 females and 1.026 males. The CDC also attributes 1,759 of its reported cases to unknown origin, those who were diagnosed with AIDS but were at no apparent risk. Still, it seems college-age heter- osexuals do not believe these sta- 62 University of Houston tistics affect them. During the cam- pus-sponsored AIDS Awareness Week in February. the turnout for most of the activities was sparse. i'There has been enough informa- tion out there now that people know that if they are having sex. they are at riskf' said Karen Gregroy, a pan- elist at the AIDS awareness Week discussion.

DRINKING PROBLEMS: Problems facing students have not changed much from that of other generations. T0- dayis student worries about which weekend party to attend, which club to hang out in and how much alcohol to consume. Well okay, not always concerned with how much they should drink. The recent ad- dition of the Third Party Li- - ability Law to the State of Tex- as Penal Code has more and more of the persons serving the alcohol changing their views. The servers now find them- selves under fire by the local and state authorities, along with threatening lawsuits. The State Third Party Li- ability Law stipulates that an establishment or its represen- tative can be held liable for serving alcohol to a person who later is involved in an accident. So, if a student working at a local pub serves someone a drink and the drinker later has a wreck, both the student and his employer could be brought to court. The probability of lawsuits led some local establishments to set up policies, such as the tiThree Drink Rulef which comes into effect when a wait- errwaitress has served the third round of drinks to a table and a fourth round is requested. A manager is notified and hetshe must decide whether a fourth round is allowed. Employees are given information on how to know when Henough is enough. Stuart McGuire, the student manager of the Hiltonis Galaxy Restaurant attended a seminar here on campus concerning the ttThree Drink Rule, but not without reservations. He tends to share the sentiments of Catherine Chamberlin, a junior in Hotel and Restaurant Man- agement, when she said, uThe persons obviously want to drink, so therefore the place serving them should not be held liable? With the State of Texas Third Party Liability Law, the server is the one who seems to end up on the proverbial hshort end of the stick.u Many alcohol serving estab- lishments banded together to voice their disapproval of the new law and the detrimental effect it has on their business. Many establishments are afraid they could lose their li- quor licenses or find them- selves completely out of busi- ness for one mistake. The state came to their aid with House Bill 1963, which created a state certification for alcohol servers. The blame now goes from the establishment to the server. Thus, students who work as waiters or waitresses could find themselves at least paying a fine or even serving a jail sentence if found liable. The new law makes a lot of people think, said Chamber- lin. HThat could stop a lot of accidents. He still feels, how- ever, that the person who drinks should be held liable, and not the establishment. Anna Schneider, a sopho- more, agreed with McGuire, saying ttyou have to know your own limitations, some people just use drinking as an excuse. McGuire is required to doc- ument every time he must in- tervene to prevent an ttexcuseit from becoming another statis- tic. Documentation protects both the establishment and the server. Even with the documenta- tion, the certification, and the Three Drink Rule, problems are still going to arise. A serv- erts judgement must always be on trial. The question of liability still goes unanswered. Should the establishment be responsible? Should the server be respon- sible? Chamberlin pointed out, uMost businesses will not serve you if you are a minor - most people of age are responsible e aren't they? - Allen Manning Four drinks, two too many. Photos by Mark Lacy. Craig Knapp sewing al- cohol at Casino Night. Photo by Hugh Tom 64 University of Houston Solved by Saying N0? At the time of this writingr there are some 19 and 20 year olds who can look back to a time when they were able to drink alcoholic bev- erages at their favorite nightclub without fear of being arrested. They knew they were legal; after all, they did vote when the last elections were held. Well, at least they can still vote, eh?! So now when all of the under- agers are deciding on what to wear to the club tonight they also have to worry about whether they will be admitted to the nightspot of their choosing. Admittance hinges on a date on the drivers license. Oh, no problem, you have a fake ID. Have a good time and remem- ber e how you act reflects on all the ttreal 21-year-olds. Now for those of you who donit own a bogus license there are op. tions. With mom and dad's ap- proval you and your friends can have a party in the basement, com- plete with booze. Your folks are pretty liberal and never did agree with the new drinking-age law. Try not to spill beer on the pool-table and keep your friends from peeing on the neighbors lawn lest you en- dup finishing the party at the local police station. Hmmm. Oh, you live in the dorms, mom and pop are 100 miles away, and you want to go to a club dammit! Well, there are several clubs in town that operate on an 18 or 19-year and older basis with all those under the magic age being stamped to let the bartenders know that under no circumstances are these people to be served al- cohol. That's okay. You go to these clubs often enough and you know some legal-agers who will be glad to buy your drinks for you. Just keep your hands hid from any over- zealous club employees who might be looking to bounce a poor kid's head on the pavement. Yeah, but what about one of those huge clubs that have a sep- arate but not equal facility for all those under 21? All thatis served in these maximum security cells is soft drinks and popcorn. Kind of like being at the cinema without the extra bonus of a movie. Well, you go to the clubs to listen to the music, dance a little, pick someone up or better yet be picked up. Not only that but you still manage to get wasted. How? Well, there are several ways you go about doing this; you get stoned, cokedeup. cracked, or XYd-out. Let's dissect these choices and throw in some fun-filled facts that youlll want to share with fam- ily and friends. STONED - a recent study showed that about 5496 of all 18e year-olds have smoked marijuana and half of those smoke it reg- ularly. As a friend of mine put it upot-smoking is so common now that it's become a cliche.n COKED-UP -e that same study on grass yields that 17W; of all 18-yearvolds have tried cocaine and that 4070 of those use it cur- rently and regularly. Just say no. The under-agers are; theylre saying N0, weire not going to let this new law keep US from having fun. To change the words of an old song a bit, It's My Party and PH Fly if I Want To.n CRACK'D - If you come from one of the fashionable areas of town, it is not referred to as doing crack; itis free-basing to you, bud- dy. Crack, while being a form of cocaine, has been tagged by some as an 805 version of heroin and is presumably not as popular as other drugs. A common WASP attitude is that crack is a ghetto problem. Well. those Ralph Lauren bed- rooms and American Heritage liv- ing rooms could he called ghettos. X'D OUT 7 Ecstasy, or X as it is more commonly known. is the lat- est drug of choice in some social circles. Several people concurred that they've seen people eat it like candy. At certain clubs in town people gather in booths and have X parties. Because of its intensity it has been referred to as a typer- upper tanother manifestation of our over-hyphenated societyJ Now none of this is meant to he an expose on the drug culture or a scholarly report on cause and ef- fect tas it clearly is notl. There are also no real questions posed here- in. hence no need to try and wrap up with a tidy answer. Besides, weire not dealing with answers but instead. choices. Choices that when faced with the alternatives offered to teenagers such as tel- evision, shopping malls. and strong family units, makes one wonder why they choose to do as they do. - Mark Hall Drinking 65 DRUGS: SOME SAY WEl NE VER STO 0D A CHANCE! etween poverty and despair the Fourth Ward B leads to a path of desperation.

Rows of broken down homes stand feebly in a line, and parents and young grandparents hang out of broken windows, laughing over the childrents boisterous behavior. The houses look like patched-up shacks, with loose boards and foundations leaning to one side. The cheaply made cubicles are squeezed together tightly with no room left for a fence. The area smells of poverty, and even the street sign with its faded letters and bent post sways hopelessly. There are no sidewalks, and cars are parked haphaz- ardly in the street or in man-made drive- ways. Barefoot toddlers, who should be in bed. run up and down the street in dirty diapers as young mothers forsake them for the brief attention of a friendly male. The night deepens, and one faintly lit streetlight casts flickering rays of brightness. A group of young men establish them- selves on the curb and begin taking swal- lows of liquor. Others sit contentedly on their porches, playing dominos and slap- ping down winning spades. Money pass- es to the winners, while wails of anguish come from the losers. Women stand at the front of the washateria, talking of the latest news, HHoney he aint no good . . . dont you know he airft come round heier since! Laughter rolls from their bellies which hang out of short skirts and old worn blue jeans. Toddlers continue to amuse them- selves in puddles of muddy water left over from yesterdayis rain. A long, old, Cadillac backs slowly out of a driveway and the driver begins to scream obscen- ities at the youngsters crouched in pot- holes in the middle of his path. ttGet yoi knappy heads outta the street . . . Pm 0 run ya ova! The car speeds up ma- liciously and the children waddle away, laughing and squealing, ttSkillet head, potat head, stuiid head. Adolescent boys stand on the corner teasing each other about their visible flaws, ttMayn, you, so ugly, the docta slapped yo Maama when you was bon.n Raucous laughter rings through the night as the offended one scowls with angry shame. The young boys animate their speech with aggressive gestures, and each body contorts convulsively with every outburst. The boys begin laughing harder, as their need for humor overcomes the need for compassion. Girls of the same age, who look as if they,ve discovered the secret, stand on the same corner throwing their bodies vigorously to music that pounds out of a parked car. The steady bass that beats out seems to sedate, sooth, and suppress the frustrations kept in the bottom of their soul. They sing loudly trying to capture the boys' attention. As if, for the first time, the boys fix their gaze on the girls, and howl pre- cociously, Ooooooh, sweet thang, be my freak, uGo on and do that ... They laugh at their attempts to won the girls, but immediately become distracted by a foreign, unfamiliar, shiny new car, and elbow each other trying to reach the car first. The fastest boy emerges at the front and approaches the car window. The driver of the fancy car thrusts him a ten dollar bill, and the boy hands over a small glass vial. He walks back to the pack of boys, grabs a cackling girl, and walks towards the neighborhood bar. The new model car drives to the end of the street, and turns out of sight. - Juliette Farley n O t S u 0 H f 0 y t .1 S r e V .1 n U 68 T0: UH STUDENTS FROM: R. L. VAN HORN RE: STATE OF AFFAIRS You are attending the University of Houston during one of its most exciting periods. In all verifiable measures the University of Houston today is better than ever before, whether you look at, the amount of research conducted, the external funds awarded and donated, the scope and quality of undergraduate and graduate academic programs, or the recognition the University is receiving in the city, state and nation. You are the best students ever at the University of Houston. Last fallls freshman class had the highest SAT scores in our 60vyear history, significantly higher than the state and national average, placing us among the top three Texas public universities. For the past two years we have enrolled more National and University Merit Scholars than ever before and ranked 26th among the nationis 3,000 colleges. You will be better educated upon graduation than any previous class. You are being taught by some of ' the finest faculty in the nation, whether you are studying creative writing or physics, business or education. You also will be among the first to graduate under the full university core curriculum. You, and every student who has enrolled at UH since 1983, have received an outstanding liberal arts and sciences educational base along with your specialized course work. We believe that this education better prepares you for both a career today and the unpredictable challenges of tomorrow. You also play an increasingly important role in the governance of the university. The resolution of this springis deliberations on student service fees occurred through the active participation of your elected student leaders. Their willingness to work diligently to explain the issues and generate support for the University Center fee referendum resulted in its passage by a two to one margin. I urge you to take advantage of the opportunities available for you at the University of Houston. Become involved in student government and student activities. Seek out professional internships in Houstonls innumerable corporations and agencies. And above all else, take advantage of our outstanding faculty through contact inside and outside the classroom. The faculty members represent the life-long dedication to excellence in their work that leads to success in all fields. Sincerely, 7-3 wmeQ x. $52wa Richard L. Van Horn President Presidential Address 69 ACADEMICS Located three miles from downtown Houston, four million people have access to the largest graduate and research facility in the state of Texas, the University of Houston. Over the last five years, recruitment efforts, admission standards and core curriculum have made the university one of the three highly competitive public universities in Texas. The average age of the typical student at the university is 26. The typical student lives off campus, holds a full or partime job and has already started a family. But, this typical student has advantages that the statest other top universities, simply cannot provide e location in the fourth largest city in the US. The university and surrounding metropolitan area interact contin- uously; There are over 50 institutes that conduct research and offer resources to individuals, corporations and governments, with fields ranging from international business, cardiovascular studies and high energy physics. A university whose academic excellence is coming of age. 70 University of Houston Academics 7 1 Dr. Wilbur L. Meier, Jr. Chancellor Dr. R.

Therels no answer at the Af- rican and Afro-American Studies program offices when students try to call. The phone has been disconnected. In fact, there are not many AAAS instructors or classes, period. tThree courses are of- fered in the colleges of English, history, and Interdisciplinary StudiesJ Since the resignation of John Indakwa in May of 1987, there has been no per- manent director. All signs point to a dying program, according to the pres- ident of the Black Student Un- ion, Ruby McIntyre. The dean of Humanities and Fine Arts, Dr. James Pickering, however, insists that this is just not so. McIntyre believes that the college has no intention of re- storing black faculty to the pro- gram and that no other classes will be offered in the future, under the AAAS program. We're not happy that its happening like this, said Mc- Intyre, ttWe are going to fight for our culture. Indakwa made a dramatic exit from the program, disap- pearing into Kenya at the be- ginning of spring in 1987, where he was doing research, prompting his wife to seek aid of US. Representative Mike Andrews, who investigated the teacher's safety. When he finally did return, Pickering said, he submitted his resignation. Pickering denied McIntyrels allegations, statingfl donit see the program phased out; I see it as being phased up and ex- panded? He added that he eventually wants to see AAAS expanded into a minor. Though Afro-American courses are open to all stu- dents, Pickering said he thinks the decline is due to more in- terest by black students in job- related courses than humani- ties courses. Chris Odionu, a part-time Afro-American student profes- sor, does not blame Pickering for the programs troubles. itWe have to be fair to the program and clean e the pro- gram has not been given a chance, Odionu said. The classes are being gradually dropped. Because of the budget crunch, it is very easy to take money from a weak program. He added that the programs instability was because of a lack of leadership after In- dakwa left. Odionu was the on- ly instructor left in the pro- gram when Indakwa did not return. But, Odionu remains hopeful that a new director will revi- talize the program. -Darlene McIlvaine 84 The University of Houston Professor John Indakwa disappeared into Kenya at the beginning of spring '87, where he was doing research.

More vigorous enforcement of the 1982 Revised Academic Honesty Policy by faculty members is the main reason for the decrease in cheating, Assistant Vice President for Academic Affairs Lupe Quintanilla said. Associate Dean of Human- ities and F ine Arts Lawrence Curry said that professors must make an individual de- cision to discourage cheating. ttSome instructors check I.D. photographs, compare signatures or color code ex- ams? he said. uIn the large lectures, which are hard to monitor, I have my students flll out signature cards at the beginning of the semester and then match them up to each exam? ttThe new Academic Hon- esty Policy reinforces the fac- ulty's and the student's awareness of the problem of cheating. Its renewal each year for a new hearing panel keeps the policy current? said Associate Dean of Phys- ics Lowel Wood. The policy was rewritten to protect the rights of the stu- dents, Quintanilla said. nWith the new policy, the students are assured of a fair and legal opportunity for jus- tice? she said. Previously, the policy had no system of review or appeal, Curry said. uWith the old pol- icy, the instructor was the judge and jury? he said. The new policy gives the accused student and the in- structor an equal right of ap- peal at the departmental and the college level. The policy lists, defines and establishes the procedures by which ac- cusations of cheating are de- termined. It applies to all col- leges and has a standard set of penalties equivalent to the dishonest action. A student accused of cheat- ing is first heard at a depart- mental hearing. If the student or instructor finds the deci- sion unacceptable, he can ap- peal t0 the college level. At the college level, the case is decided by a college hearing officer, appointed each year by the dean and by the Ac- ademic Honesty Panel. The panel consists of two faculty members and three students. The final appeal step is the university provost. The prov- ostts review insures that all procedures were executed without bias or reckless dis- regard for the truth. - Lisa Anne Waller thOHZHUJ Mohammed K. Aaref Julio C.

The discussion did not bring about any changes in my grade. As I was leaving. feeling some- what defeated, the professor told me he was teaching a full-sized class in the same course and would I be interested in grading the class' assignments for him? I would be paid a set amount each month, though I would be uworking more hours one week and maybe none the next. No, it would not affect my lower-than- expected grade of the fall, he told me. The next day, the professor introduced me to the class of 160. Pm not sure they needed to see the person who would be grading all of their work. Two days later, as I walked into my accounting class, a guy asked if I wasn't the grader for I began to have strange notions of bribes and vi- olence about low grades. The first wave of papers ful- filled my expectations of the tasks simplicity. All I had to do was check off the students who turned in a one-page summary ot ItMy Computer Experience. It's amazing how many people listed watching my groceries being checked out as their computer exposure. Three weeks later followed the first real assignment. The pro- fessor had to help me carry all the papers and disks to my car. One hundred and sixty students, seven printed documents and a disk each totaling 1,120 pieces of paper and 160 disks thickened by an assortment of folders, see- through covers, and huge enve- lopes. Again, this assignment was relatively simple; they had to write the original uMy Computer Experience using WordPerfect and then make six different ed- itorial changes, each time refer- ring to the original. It wasn't so bad, though, because I had my 13-year-old brother help me. I wonder how the students would feel knowing they were under the scrutiny of an eighth grader. A week after handing back the papers, the professor asked me to keep regular office hours, fear- ing that his secretary, who has never had a business class in her life, would be attacked with ques- tions about grades. The next assignment was complex. involving actual com- puter programming in BASIC. I thought, I have the entire Spring Break to do this, no sweat. Wrong! Even though I had check figures that would produce spe- cific answers when run through the programs, I rarely got through the program to see ex- actly how much they got right, and where they made their mis- take. Have you ever tried to cor- rect someonels logic? I was to grade 160 different versions - make that 159, two were exactly the same except for the name - of one assignment. Now, I am sitting here, two days before school begins again, with approximately 18 papers graded. Two of those 18 are so twisted in logic that I can not come up with a positive tas oppossed to a neg- ativel grade for them. Maybe I should get back to them. a Sandhya Sanghani Veronica Flores Cristina Isabel Fonseca Andrea Maria Font Fushid Forozgan Patrick E. Forster Darlene Freitag J anet W.

But those in Professor Sidney Buchananls class get an unusual addition to the regular syllabus. uLetlst sing a song about Marbury vs. Madison, says Bu- chanan. The students turn to song No. 1 in a little handbook called ttSing Along With Sid: A Constitutional Law Musical Ad- venturel' and sing to the tune of ttThe Eyes of Texas tor uI've Been Working on the Railroad'?: The eyes of Marshall are upon you; As you legislate. The eyes of Marshall are upon you; He will review your slate. Do not think you can escape him; Your law must pass his way; As keeper of the Constitution; The Court will have its say! Buchanan, who has taught for 21 years, developed his innova- tive approach to teaching almost a decade ago when he started putting parts of his lectures to music. After spending a summer composing lyrics to songs like ttClementine and Anchors Awayf' he now uses singing on a regular basis to help his students learn about the long arm of the law. HI have always enjoyed celebrating events in life through music, so it struck me to be a fun thing to do in the classroom, he said. To write the songs, he said, he picks a topic and sits down to write out the words to music. Some songs take days of thought; others take hours. He added that the students like the songs and almost eve- ryone participates. uSome really get into it? Buchanan wrote nA Professo- rial Farewell to say goodbye on the last day of class, when he and his students sing together one last time.

Vaughan Ana Elisa Villaronga Moving Up in the World Outstanding graduates, coupled with Houstonls eco- nomic downswing, have led to a surge in local support for the university, according to Mayor Kathy J. Whitmire, one of the better-known alumni. Whitmire, 41, graduated from the College of Business in 1968 with a bachelors de- gree in accounting, and she received her master's degree in business administration in 1970. ttI think one of the reasons that UH is getting more at- tention and becoming better recognized as one of our ma- jor universities in Texas is be- cause of all of us who have graduated and are moving up. Now we want to give some attention to the university? Having spoken with grad- 92 The University Of Houston uates from the College of Business, Whitmire said she has seen a big Change since she attended classes here. ttA lot more of them are women than when I was there. In fact, more than half. of them are women nowa- days, and I was sort of in the small minority when I was around. The mayor said she keeps tabs on the university's prog- ress and projects. nOne that Ilm particularly interested in is the develop- ment of the new business ad- ministration school ... I think its certainly putting the school in a better light in terms of producing the MBA students who will take lead- ership roles in the business community? Though state financial sup- port of the university has not been as generous as in past years, the mayor said the uni- versity's leaders are working hard to make up the differ- ence. But campus leaders arenlt the only local supporters, she added. Prominent Houstoni- ans are taking notice of the university like never before, she said. ttI see it as a university which is accessible here in this central city of Houston that provides a quality of ed- ucation that attracts people, not only like myself from Houston, but from other countries and other parts of the United States as well? - Ruth Piller Fund of her alma mater, Mayor Kathryn J.

Anybody who is anybody knows that you must be seated with your lunch by twenty-to-twelve, otherwise you take a chance and end up on the floor. My watch showed 11:55. The credits from the previous show were rolling on the screen. There was a tension in the air e more like an- ticipation. Suddenly, a silence came over the room. The mu- sic began to play. You could almost hear a pin drop the room was so quiet and all eyes were glued to the screen. Not even final exams would have stopped this crowd from watching the continuing saga of uAll My Children? in the University Underground Sat- 96 The University of Houston ellite.

He attributes this to three factors: fewer banks are hiring MBAs, the stock mar- ketis effect on the financial industry and the number of MBA holders seeking jobs. The MBA, masters of busi- ness administration, is a val- uable degree because it is a general degree that can be ap- plied to almost any industry or business, Small said. Nationwide, about 65,000 people earned MBAs last year, as compared to 20,000 in 1970. 0The supply is so great that employers are hiring MBAs for positions that used to re- quire only a BBAs tbachelor of business administrationl Companies are increasingly saying MBAs with no expe- rience are worth no more than BBAsf' Small said. These jobs included entry level management trainee programs, especially with consulting firms, banks, in- vestment firms and industry. But, visiting instructor Philip Gibbs said he hasnt seen any indication of a de- creased demand for MBAs. MBAs with no experience have to go through the same learning process that anyone coming out of school goes through, Gibbs said. Small said, I do feel that an MBA pays off in the long run? because to the addition- al skills taught in the program and the license or credential that will open doors in busi- nessF My advise to anyone con- sidering an MBA is to get the experience along with the MBA, as opposed to going for the MBA full time, Small said. The College of Business' Administration ranked 32nd in salan'es for MBA graduates and number one in salary in- creases for MBAs in 1986, Small said. The average salary of 1986 MBA graduates was $31,992, said Boyd Armstrong, 3 ca- reer counselor. This amount; represents an 18 percent in- i crease over the previousT yearis average salary of $30,000. Even though we dont have the highest dollart amount, we had the highest! increase, Armstrong said. Gibbs said the difference between the MBA and the; BBA is that MBAs study ma- terial more in depth. Mosty MBA candidates have a cou- t ple of years in the workforce and can draw on that expe- rience. The coursework has more meaning due to thatf, he said. a Claire Blondeau i l 98 The University Of Houston UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON Susan Slawson Adam Smith Analisa Smith Tina Smith Allison Spruill Patricia Trevino Thomas Trimble Peggy Tucker Xenia Vorka David Wait mwOHZGm Thomas Whitfield Joanne Wilson Robert Wong Hsiao-Mzi Yeh Academics 99 mmwozomwOm John Houston Adia Ahmed Ruben Alonzo Luis Alvarezi Mohammad Ayyubi Neely Bean Lillah Bewa Julie Bivens Cheryl Blair Roy Bobo Alfredo Bueno Lee Burns Rosa Carrillo Lisa Comin Wendy Crothers Jeffery Cummings Beats Damm Stafanie Dorat Baby Djojonegoro Ryan Ekholm Attitude? What Attitude? Most students discover the meaning of higher education during the middle of their senior year in college. They find out that the university is not only an institution where a specific trade is taught, but an environment where shared information and experience can lead to the ability to think - really think - for ones self. Yesterday, I conceded to eye- strain headaches and visited the college of optometry for an exam. Late, as usual, I hurried to the receptionistis desk as fast as my rubber thongs would take me and quickly dug my student ID. from the torn pockets in my shorts to ensure my student discount. While reading an intriguing article on the relationship be- tween number 137 and quantum physics, the ttdoctor called for me. Actually, Doctor Greg was not yet a doctor, but for reasons of potential, Pll call him this. I was immediately disgusted. 100 The University Of Houston I have a particular dislike of any mold that society makes for individuals and this guy fit into the worst one: Yuppie. From his loafers, argyle socks and khakis to his pink polo shirt and paisley tie. And yes, those were Way- farers in his shirt pocket. Immediately. he too, seemed disgusted. It couldnt have been my shag- gy beard, earrin , or comfortable attire that ma e him cringe. I was even wearing a brand-new surf shirt. It must have been his jealousy of my apparent adven- turous character and masculin- ity. Durin the course of the exam, we foun had a lot in common. Both of us had done well in high school, graduating with honors, and we both had become disil- lusioned with college before dis- covering its purpose. Now we both have goals in life and highly value free-thought. He shared several experiences with me such as losing his father, a job, a girlfriend and a car all at one time. Whatever doesnit kill you makes you stronger was on- ly one of the topics discussed. Another was the pathetic way society forces individuals into preset destinies: finish college, get a well-paying job, buy a house and a car, get married, have kids and die in a respectable manner. We agreed that success should be gauged by self-set standards of accomplishment and satisfac- tion, not by those set by society: wealth and power. I had been wrong.

So, how do you alleviate the boredom? For Chris Sarkar, 23, an Eng- lish major, the answer lay in his pencil and in his idea given to him by a friend. And thus, the infamous Homer Noodleman was born! The very same Mr. Noodleman that appears in the Daily Cougar. HIt rained for three days, my friends were in Italy, and Ger- man TV is only so tolerablefl Sarkar said. uI sat down and drew about 40 tcomic strips in one dayl. Considering that, it might seem strange that the strip has had any success at all. But, four years later, it still adorns the comic page of the Daily Cougar and appears to be running strong. It also might seem strange, but the real Homer Noodleman first appeared in an episode of The Beverly Hillbillies. ltThatls right. A friend gave me the idea he got from a friend of his, Sarkar said. nThe name does have some meaning for me. Homer, as in Homer 0f the an- cients - the blind poet of Iliad- Odyssey fame - and Nood- leman, as in meaningless, mod- ern absurdity, our happy con- ditionl, he said. There is a serious side to Chris Sarkar, however. He is a hard worker and seems to care about who he is and where his education will take him. Enough, in fact, to com- pletely change his degree plan. Sarkar, as stated before, is an English major, but it is a newly acquired major for him. Just last year, he was hours away from graduating as an electrical en- gineer. nI suddenly realized that I was about to graduate as an Engi- neer, so I got out of there before it actually happened, he said. His latest endeavor is a pock- et-sized magazine that he and a few friends have started working on. It is entitled The New Idler: Idle Thoughts for Idle Minds. uItls a do-it-yourself thing, he said. ttWelre trying to embarrass ourselves in order to improve our writing and literary skills, he said. uAnd we want to encourage writers from every department to contribute. Like any campus publication, the magazine needed approval. Sarkar was able to find that ap- proval through the English de- partment. I asked Dr. Southwell Ian English professori to sponsor us and were happy that he agreed to it? he said. Now, considering the bizarre picture, Sarkar tends to paint of himself, you might think Southwell would have reserva- tions about sponsoring a Sarkar publication. uI had no problem with thatf' Southwell said. nYou see, I am impressed with his in- sight and the ideas he brings to class, and his sense or respon- sibility with his outside interest, he said. - Vincent Tortorice l02 The University Of Houston The WORLD 05: Homer Noodleman, in +hese +he lasf years of +he 20$ century... by cumsnmv samam, 03x.

Although I am not an art major, I decided to take a Life Drawing class. I hoped that by the time the semester was over, I would be able to draw a distinguishable human form. The class met twice a week for three hours a day. At first, the whole class felt awkward at having to be in the presence of a nude body twisted in unusual positions, but in time, everyone was used to it. For me, the first few classes were boring because all we did were stick figures and mass drawings. I wanted to draw outlines and then build up to mass. Needless to say, I hard- ly attended class. Then, we worked with clay. We had to sculpt the model and draw what we felt. The only thing I got out of that exercise was grubby hands and the knowl- edge that I would never make it as a sculptor. As the semester dragged on, my art class did get more interesting. The models posed for longer periods of time and we were allowed to draw outlines. I began to at- tend class regularly and put more effort into my drawings. J ust as I was getting into it the semester was over. This was a bit disappointing be- cause I had not learned whatI thought I would tmaybe be- cause I didnt go to class?l. Don,t get me wrong. The instructor was great, but the methods used were not that interesting. Oh well, I guess I will just have to practice on my own. One thing is for sure, though. I have many more friends of the opposite sex simply because they wanted me to take them into my class to see the models. - Anonymous NM The University Of Houston He's Shy.

N estor Rodriquez, an assis- tant professor of sociology, will be conducting the two- year exploratory study in Houston. Five other cities al- so participating in the study include Chicago, Miami, Phil- adelphia, San Fransisco and Garden City, Kan. The entire $1 million grant, ttChanging Relations: New- comers and Established Res- idents in US. Communities, is the first of its kind in eth- nographic research. It will ex- amine the relationship be- tween Mexicans and Central Americans with Caucasians, blacks and Mexican- Americans. Rodriguez said churches, schools and community centers will be the focal points of research. thhat were looking for is what makes the relationships work and how the groups interact with one another, he said. We want to see how they establish friendships, partic- ipate in social activities and handle different types of au- thority? Rodriguez said. Itls helpful when the community offers bilingual and support services. Research findings from the six cities will be calculated by the Ford Foundation and most likely will be made into a book, he said.

Boshier was born in Port- smith, England and educated at the Yeovil School of Art in Somerset and the Royal Col- lege of Art in London. As a child in elementary school, he was not a model student. uIn England in the '503, every child in the coun- try had to sit for an exam called the ueleven plus exam , which was meant to separate all children into two streams of education, one academic, the other technical and man- ual . .. Two weeks after sit- ting for the exam, the head- master read out a list of successful student candidates that would go on to academic school at the local grammar i 10 The University Of Houston school, probably 15 out. of 50. My name was not on the list. But, at mid-morning, I was asked to go see the headmas- ter. I thoughthh, God, what have I done now? Nobody ever saw the headmasteri' ttHe asked me to sit down and said, tAs you know, your- name was not read out as a successful candidate to the grammar school. Actually, your name was on the list. But, we thought there had been a typing errort. In 1963, he returned to England and began a teaching career. He has been teaching ever since. Boshier received tenure in 1987 and is now an associate professor. Because the British system does not give many sabati- cals, and his request for a sabatical two years ago was turned down, he has taught continuously since 1963 and prefers to think of himself as an artist who teaches, rather than a teacher who does artwork. According to Boshier, the art department should push for better working conditions. The facilities are restricted and delapidated. This is cou- pled with the lack of equip- ment and air conditioning. Still, alumni are active na- tionally and internationally. Boshier has helped to im- prove the universityts image by continuously showing his work since 1961. Los Angeles and Houston are both run- ning exhibits. Last year he was awarded a $15,000. Na- tional Endowment for the Arts tNEAi grant. - John Schmalz With experiences in England, India and America.

Marty McGovern, 23, Hon- ors Program creative writing lecturer and poet, might dis- agree. He entered a poetry contest sponsored by the cul- tural Arts Council of Houston and won $3,600. McGovern, who teaches an honors literature course and off-campus poetry courses, said that $3,000 of the prize money has been awarded. The council is holding the re- maining $600 until he per- forms some community ser- vice project, a contest rule requirement. I think what Pm going to do is collect clothes and toys and childrens books and take them to the Star of Hope Mission? McGovern said. The two major themes of the 15 pages of poetry entered in the contest were love and death, he said. McGovern de- scribed his writing style as be- ing primarily lyrical. But, he l l2 The University of Houston said, uI change off. Some of them are traditional style like off-rhyme and rhyme e kind like of like W.D. Snodgrass. The rest are free verse. Jean Kwan, a spokeswom- an for the Cultural Arts Council, said that at least 90 Houston-area authors en- tered works, from which six winners in various categories were chosen. She also said that the entrants had to have lived in the Houston commu- nity for two years prior to the contest and must have had two works accepted for pub- lication in other than under- graduate literary magazines to be eligible. McGovern has had poems and articles published in the Poetry magazine, Kenyon Re- view, and his favorite of those entered in this contest - a poem entitled Rainbow Di- ary - will appear in The New Republic. Kwan said the contest judges were three noted au- thors; David Bradley, a nov- elist from Philadelphia; Elea- nor Langer, a biographer and journalist from Portland, Ore.; and poet Naomi Nye of San Antonio. The winners were recog- nized in an announcement and reading at the Museum of Fine Arts, followed by a re- ception at the River Cafe. McGovern, who earned a doctorate in English here in 1986, said that he did not know of any undergraduates who entered the contest. He also said that he is pleased that Houston has a group providing money for creative writing. A different medium is cho- sen for the contest each year, Kwan said. uThis year the creative artists' program was in literature. Next year it will be in the visual arts. - Michael A.

Suffering through mis- takes and embarrassments on national TV, in huge arenas filled with spectators and re- porters. To be willing to face the fear, face the possibility of failure and defeat, and come back for more shows that there really is no failure or weakness. In a world where only the strong survive, we proved ourselves to be the strongest around. Coming off a hard year, it wasn't easy to face off with new players, and new coaches, when everyone had the same old attitudes. We did, though. And in doing so, we sur- passed everyone's expectations. Even with- out glowing titles and massive wins, we had spirit, pride, and more than enough wins. We can look back on our accomplishments on the playing field, to the advances athletic policies have made in the classroom perfor- mances of our athletes, and to the improve- ments in our attitudes, and know that we've come a long way.

Entering the 1987 football season. there were a number of reasons for both optimism and worry in the Fouke Building. Athletic Director Rudy Davalos and his department had faced a great deal of controversy over the athletic budget and its increased re- liance on student service fees. Mean- while, an NCAA investigation of pur- ported payments to football players had concluded on campus, yet the findings had yet to be released. Yet new football Coach Jack Pardee had installed a new uRun- and-Shoot offense that promised to fill the scoreboard with points. The thought amongst athletic leaders was that fans would quickly respond to the more exciting play by filling seats in the Astrodome. Davalos said before the season opener that. From an administra- tion standpoint, we must get off to a good start. If we come out and look real sharp. there is no question it will help attendance. He added, I'll be extremely disappointed if we get only 15.000-20.000 iattendancei per game. I'd like to see us in the mid-twenties. Scandal continued to plague the football team during the 1987 season. but new Coach Jack Pardee and the team made a strong showing. Photo by Dorian Isenberg. The hope was as little realized as were UH hopes for a strong showing against Oklahoma State in the open- er. The OSU squad thoroughly dom- inated the Cougars - as Pardee's offense fell completely apart - and . . . Houston should be among the top half of SWC teams in 1988. h Houston was shut out for the first time at home in 22 years. 35-0. Pardee and offensive coordinator John Jenkins ran out three quar- terbacks in an attempt to get the offense clicking. but starter David Dacus and first backup Ed Powers both proved totally ineffective against the stifling Cowboy defense. Only third-string QB Andre Ware showed an ability to move the team. Ware used a combination of Run- and-Shoot plays and Veer scram- bling as he led the Coogs during the fourth quarter. That performance impressed the coaches that Ware deserved the starting job. Just like that. UH had its first freshman starter at the quar- terback position since Gerald Lan- dry. arguably the best QB in school history. Pardee explained. uThe biggest thing we're looking for is that spark which will get our offense moving. We're not giving up on Dacus or Powers. but we are looking for some- one to jumpstart the offense. And Ware did exactly that in the next game against Sam Houston State. Completing a school-record 25 passes. Ware and kickoff return man James Dixon led Houston to a 38-34 win over the Division l-AA Bearkats. The freshman wasted little time showing his appreciation for the starting nod. quickly working the Cougars to 17 first-half points. in- cluding lcontinuedl Sports 122 Or the Next . . . an electric 53-yard TD pass to Jason Phil- lips. Dixon, meanwhile, was making sure that fans didnlt leave for a Coke during kick- offs. He broke away in the third quarter for a 94-yard TD return and ended the game with 217 return yards, le-times the pre- vious school record. The two records against SHSU was just the beginning of a season-long assault on the school record book, and the next game -- against Baylor - saw six more records fall. Most went to Ware, who threw for 404 yards, as the Cougars fell, 30-18. Ware also completed 31 passes out of 62 attempts, both new marks. And teammate Phillips caught 14 of those, boosting him into the national lead for re- ceptions per game. Two interceptions, though, by Baylorls Robert Blackmon kept the Cougars at armls length all evening. Houston traveled to College Station the next Saturday, facing a nationally-ranked Texas ASzM team that would eventually go to the Cotton Bowl. Despite the opportunity for a confidence-crushing blowout, UH threatened the Aggies throughout the game, finally falling, 22-17, as a final fourth-quarter rally ended with a pair of sacks by A8zM defensive backs. Kicker Chip Browndyke said of the game, uWe felt it was destiny for us to win. They just shut the door on us. Until that point, though, the Aggies couldnlt do much of anything with the upstart UH team. Kimble Anders filled in at the running back position for an injured Sloan Hood and ran up 111 yards, in- cluding a two-yard TD dive, and caught a touchdown pass that went 50 yards. Meanwhile, the Cougar defense turned in its best performance of the season, lim- iting the Ags to only 250 yards of offense and shutting down the ASLM running backs to only 73 yards rushing. Houston tried to regroup as it traveled to Laramie, Wyo., to visit the Wyoming Cowboys. This game was scheduled to re- place the one lost when SMU cancelled its season, and the Cowboys were proving to be a major surprise; they would eventually win the Western Athletic Conference and host the Holiday Bowl. For the second week in a row, the un- derdog Cougars almost hit a favored team, but again saw the game slip away in the final moments. A field goal by Wyomingls Greg Worker with one second left put them past UH, 37-35. But perhaps a more devastating loss came in the first quarter when Andre Ware suf- fered a broken left forearm. Ed Powers stepped in for Ware and had a strong per- . formance, completing 1 23 of 49 passes for 364 yards and three TDs. Comerback Johnny Jackson's two in- terceptions also helped. His second, with only 1:30 left in the game, seemed to secure the UH win. But UH couldnt find a run- ning game it hadn't used all year long. Two unsuccessful runs, and two Cowboys time- outs, forced the Cougars to punt. Still, Simon Rodriguezls punt left Wy- oming on the 17. James Loving made a catch in the middle of Houstonls prevent defense and ran 65 yards'to the UH 18. Worker came on to kick his 35-yard field goal and Wyoming escaped. 4 We felt it was destiny for us to win.

Houston continued its four-game road trip the next week by flying to Fay- etteville to challenge Arkansas. Powers earned the starting nod, but was pulled quickly after he failed to move the Cou- gars. David Dacus, saw his first action since the season opener. Dacus rallied Houston and UH led, 17-14, in the fourth quarter when the Razorbacks put together a 66-yard TD drive to win it. It was UH's third straight loss of less than a touchdown, and their record of 1-5 was the worst in the South- west Conference. But hints at competitiveness were blown away in the Fort Worth wind the next week, as TCU crushed UH, 35-7. The Frogst Tony Jeffery ran for 194 yards and the TCU team combined for 352 rushing yards. About the only bright spots of the game were J ason Phillips' 12 receptions, making the all-time school leader in single-season catches, and Ga- ry McGuirds 23 tackles from the middle linebacker position. At home against the Texas Long- horns, UH rebounded convincingly, ex- ploding to a 60-40 win over the Home. who were hoping to lock up a Cotton Bowl invitation. tcontinuedt Sports 123 124 Or the Next . . . 40 second-half points by Houston won it, including three TDs on interception returns by Johnny Jackson. The 60 points were a UH all-time high against a Texas team, and suddenly UH was roll- ing. It was the first of four games in November in which the Cougars would remain undefeated. Against Temple the next week, UH had arguably its easiest win in years. Dacus threw for 376 yards and three TDs, as the Cougars romped over Tem- ple, 37-7. The flashy state were on the offen- sive end, where Dacus completed a school-record 32 passes. But the most impressive ones were from the defense. The Owls were limited to on- ly 73 rushing yards and committed four interceptions. One interception, by safe- ty Randy Thornton, was run back for a touchdown, making six Cougar TDs off interceptions over the season. It was Thorntonls last triumph as a Cougar, though. He was declared inel- igible the next week by athletic officials after he fell below the 12-hour level needed to stay eligible. The Daily Cougar followed up on the story by disclosing that Thorntonls records were falsified in an attempt to maintain his eligibility. The Cougar re- ported that Thornton had been below 12 hours since Nov. 11 and that he was ineligible for the UH win over Temple. At least one university official tried to add Thornton into physical education classes on Nov. 12, even though the se- nior had never attended any of the class- es. The adds were removed after they were brought to the attention of Shirley Ezell, associate vice president of aca- demic programs. The university voluntarily forfeited the Temple win after the athletic de- partment found ujudgmental and cler- icaP errors in the adds. Athletic Director Rudy Davalos, who announced the for- feit, said, After I studied it and talked to more people, it became apparent that . . . he shouldn,t have played in the game. Meanwhile, the Cougarsl phenomenal November was continuing. Houston scored 10 fourth- quarter points to tie Texas Tech, 10-10, and knock the Raiders out of the Independence Bowl. And Pardee's Iirst sea- son concluded, ap- propriately, with a fireworks offen- sive show against Rice. The Cougars and Owls combined for 1,032 yards of offense as UH knocked off Rice, 45-21. And as the clock ran down on 1987, Pardee had to decide if he would give Chip Browndyke a shot at a school-record 19th field goal of the year or allow Jason Phillips to become only the fourth receiver in NCAA history to catch 100 passes. Pardee went for the field goal and Browndyke made it worthwhile for the game's final points. Phillips wasn't the only Cougar to fall short of a goal; J ames Dixon, despite the phenomenal start, en- ded up 41 yards short of the national record for kickoff return yardage. But they both return next year, as do all three quarterbacks and all-conference cornerback Johnny Jackson, and Hous- ton should be picked among the top half of SWC team in 1988. - Scott Butterworth University of Houston Jack Pardee claps nervously as the Cougar field goal unit readies against Texas Tech.

In a preseason interview, Foster, coach of the menis basketball team, called 1987-88 a transition year, adding that uwithin two years, we would be a legitimate top-20 club? Yet by season's end, the Coogs had progressed from a middle-of-the-Southwest Conference team to one which finished in the Round of 16 in the NIT. So, Pat, which is it: bad-mouthing or an honest assessment of preseason talent? Actually, Fosters label of a tttransition year'i says more about the resilient strength of the UH program than the talent of this yearis team. This was a squad with 1987's junior college player of the year, a member of the Brazilian National Team and a high- school All-American. And although UH team experience was near its lowest of the decade for the Cougars, the group coalesced into a formidable squad, with inside muscle and outside bombers. Still, the change from gangly foal to prom- ising colt was painful and lengthy. The com- ing-out party was a nationally-televised game against the highly-touted Louisville Cardinals, late in the season. Playing before 19,000 of the home fans. the Cardinals quickly gained command of the game and were coasting toward the win when a problem threatened the outcome - Hous- ton wouldnit die. Richard Hollis and Horace Chaney combined for several three-point goals in the last five minutes. And after trail- ing by as much as 19, the Cougars were within three with 11 seconds left. Although Houston lost the game, 73-69, they proved to themselves that they could compete - and beat - some of the best in the country. Less than 24 hours later, they returned to Hofheinz Pavilion and exercised that lesson on the shocked Virginia Cavaliers, beating the ACC representative by 23 points. Now, the steady Hollis twho scored in dou- ble figures in 28 of the 31 UH gamesi had company while leading the team. Chaney, who had emerged from an early-season slump, became one of the best three-point threats left in the league. After he left the team for seven days at midseason, point guard Randy Brown be- came the defensive captain, topping the team in steals and assists. And while he was rel- atively quiet on and off the court, it would be a mistake to overlook 7-f00t-1 Rolando Fer- reira, who was the team workhorse in the paint. Things weren't so may for UH earlier in the year, though. The beginning of the sea- son had more hiccups and bumps than grandpa's old Ford. The Cougars opened with three wins, none particularly difficult. Then UH played Ne- vada-Las Vegas in perhaps the biggest game at Hofheinz since Foster took over for Guy Lewis two years ago. The Rebels, a Final Four team a year ear- lier, were never really tested. While UH was suffering without a consistent outside threat. UNLVis Gerald Paddio was hitting seven three-pointers from the shooting guard spot. Ferreira had one of his most inspired games Sports 129 130 tFormidable Squadi Surpasses Expectations ever for UH, with 23 points ton 10-of-15 shootingl and 16 rebounds. And the Cougars outrebounded the more physical Rebels, 42- 37. But 39 percent shooting led to the loss, 89-69, the worst UH defeat of the decade. Houston traveled to Minneapolis to face the Minnesota Gophers in their next game. But the team seemed to forget how to make baskets; their shooting percentage of 33 per- cent was the worst of the year. Of the nine men who played, only Richard Hollis made at least half of his shots. Not surprisingly, the Gophers coasted to a 65-50 win. But a trip back to Fosterls old stomping grounds settled things for UH quickly. Play- ing in Lamar Universityls Spindletop Blow- out, the Cougars first scrappled past Drexel, 91-88, led by Hollisl 37 points and Ferreirals 23. Then the unlikeliest of heroes led the Cou- gars to the tournament championship over host Lamar. Tom Grant had two big mo- ments in the spotlight this year - one in the opener against Sam Houston when he scored 21 and the other against the Cardinals. Grant's 19 led four Cougars in double figures as UH skidded past, 71-67, raising their re- cord to 5-2. The Lamar tournament was important for several reasons. Grantls performance in the Lamar game allowed Hollis to shift to small forward, a position much better suited to his formidable penetrating and rebounding tal- ent. And it also showed that Houston played better with a different person playing shoot- ing guard, if only to allow Hollis to shift down with Ferreira and freshman Craig Upchurch. Thatls where the other revelation of the Lamar tournament came in, Horace Chaney didnlt make the list of eluding scorers in the two games, so a key stat was overlooked by many. Chaney scored 11 and 13 in the games this first double figure games of the yearl, but more importantly, hit three three-pointers in each, showing the ability to hit the needed outside shot. While Grant also made a minor run for the position - with his Lamar game and 16 points and 15 rebounds in the next game against Texas - Tom was a regular occupant of Foster's doghouse since the coach first arrived from Beaumont. But before Foster could tinker with putting Chaney with the starting five, Randy Brown, Houstonls point guard, quit the team and returned to his Chicago home. Rumors abounded; one newspaper spec- ulated that Brown was considering trans- ferring to DePaul or Chicago State, both schools closer to home. The reason for Brown's departure, he ex- plained after returning a week later, was that I needed time to think and get my head straight. Some of the problems worth pon- dering included UHls recruitment of Derrick Daniels and Eddie Cumbo, two guards with strong point guard abilities who could chal- lenge Brownls lock on the job. Daniels, in particular, had been quoted that he expected to be starting for the Cougars next year. The timing of Brownls leaving was trou- blesome; it was only two days before UH was to travel to Austin for the Southwest Con- ference opener against Texas. Foster moved Chaney to point guard and he responded with 16 points, but only two assists. Houston dropped the game, 65-63. Things didnlt get much better against New Orleans in another road game, UH's fifth in a row. Chaney again hit double figures, as did Hollis and Ferreira, but also got only two assists again. In each of Chaneyls games at point guard, Houston as a team had season lows in assists with nine. Brown was back, though, for the game against Texas Tech at Hofheinz. This was Craig Upchurch's chance to debut as star. The freshman from St. Louis was a last- minute signee for Foster, but he was still expected to be a key contributor at power forward. His rebounds had regularly been there, but Upchurch was in a deep slump by the time the Raiders hit Houston. Tech, though, seemed happy to send Upchurch to the free throw line. Craig hit 10 of his 15 free throws along the way to an 18-point, nine- rebound performance. UH won, 72-67. One week later, he hit all eight of his shots from the floor and led the Cougars to a 77-57 thrashing of TCU. But in the next four UH games, the meat of the SWC schedule, the Cougars picked up only one other win. When the first half of the conference schedule fin- ished, Houston was 4-4. Then came Louisville and Virginia. The second half of the SWC slate saw few of the early-season stuttering problems. UH lost only to SMU and Baylor, who would finish 1-2 at seasonls end, as the Cougars had a second-half record of 6-2, cementing the fifth seed in the conference tournament. UH blasted Texas in the first round of the tourney, 72-57, locking the shackles around soon-to-be-fired Horn coach Bob Weltlich. But against SMU in the semifinals, Houston never had a chance. SMU was simply unconscious, throwing in shots from all ranges and all types, while the Cougars could only watch and shake their heads. The Mustangs shot better than 61 percent for the game and devastated Hous- ton, 98-76. But UHts 17-12 record kept them alive. Although they had too many losses for con- Men's basketball team coaches, trainers, and man- agers. Photo by E. Ashley. University of Houston sideration for the NCAA tournament, the prestige of the program - and the potential scoring explosiveness shown in that TV game against Louisville - earned a bid to the National Invitation Tournament. The bid continued Fosterls record of reaching a post- season tournament in each of the seven years that he has coached. The first-round NIT game was at Hofheinz, against the Fordham Rams. Al- though a vicious rainstorm kept many people away, the Cougars played their steadiest game of the year. The deliberate Rams tried several times to shake Houstonls up-tempo inclinations. But Houston did what was nec- essary; playing strong defense over most of the 45-second clock; then coming down quickly to run the offense. Brown was the biggest beneficiary of the slowed play. Since there were few fast- breaks. Brown got an unusually high number . of assists. In fact, his 15 set a NIT record for l one game as UH cruised to the 69-61 win. The NIT pairing committee then sent the Cougars to Fort Collins, Colo. to face Col- orado State. CSU was paced by Texan Pat Durham at center, and Durham and Ferreira squared off in what was UHls best battle of ' the season at center. 1 Durham scored 25 points while Ferreira tossed in 21. The final outcome for the game was similar: CSU finished the Cougars sea- son, 71-61. Chaney and Upchurch helped back up Rolando with 15 points and 11, re- spectively. All of Chaneyls scores came on three-point buckets. Houston finished 18-13, marking the sec- ond straight year that UH had reached 18 wins. Individual leaders in season-long stats included Hollis leading the team in scoring, three-point goals and minutes, and second in rebounds, assists, steals and blocks. In his last season at UH, Ferreira averaged 14.3 points and 608 rebounds. Before the opponent even realizes the ball is gone 2007 steals it and is half-way down the court. Photo by John Schmalz. K - .. .. K,:L-: 7-... .4 His rebound and blocked shot totals led the Cougars, while Brown topped the squad in assists and steals. Several Houston players also did well in post-season honors. Brown was named the SWC's All-Defensive Team, Hollis made many second-team All-SWC lists and Upchurch was a regular mention on New- comer of the Year rolls. If there was a distinct downside to the season, it was in the irregularities surround- ing the UH lineup. Four players spent vary- ing amounts of time away from the team. Tom Grant quit the team before the sea- son, but later was allowed to return. Then, in late February, he was kicked off the team. He joined sophomore forward Michael New in the bleachers. New was a much-heralded recruit from the same Chicago high school as Randy Brown. But he didntt meet the academic require- ments of NCAA Proposition 48, forcing him to sit out last year. When he returned eligible this season, Upchurch's play, along with that of key reserve Eduardo Drewnick, forced New to the sideline. He was suspended from the team after the fall semester because of more academic problems. Horace Chaney was also caught in the win- ter paper shuffle. He had to sit out of Hous- ton,s first game with SMU until his fall cour- sework was completed. And Brown left the team for a week as he returned to his Chicago home. - Scott Butterworth It's a matter of centimeters who will get the ball in this tip-off. Photo by John Schmalz.

Despite predictions to the contrary, once again the pride of Lady Cougars who make up the basketball team were able to claw their way to a fine showing at the NCAA Basketball Championship Tournament with a 22-7 record. Marking the first time ever that we have gone so high in SWC standings, they also set records for the best winning per- centage i75.996i and had the third highest single sea- son victory with 22 wins. The season he- gan in record- setting fashion. A school record was set after the first ten games were won, the greatest number of consecutive wins in school history. Included among these victories were seven wins on the road; an 84-80 tri- umph over San Diego State in the first round of the University of Colorado Coors Classic and a 79-78 victory over the host team, Colorado, which was a NCAA tournament team and a finalist in the Big Eight Conference. Houston also hosted victories over na- tionally-ranked James Madison and La Salle in back-to-back games at the Flor- ida International Mn ini Sun Classic on The season began in re- cord-setting fashion. A school record was set af- ter the first ten games were won . . . January 2 and 3. UH handed James Madison its first loss of the season in the first round of the tournament as senior Carla Foun- tain scored a career high of 28 points leading to a 74-65 victory over Madison. The following night, La Salle received one of its three regular-season losses in the sem- ifinals with an 83- 75 decision as se- nior forward Bar- bara Anderson paced the attack with 26 points and 14 rebounds. The victory streak came to an end in the tinals of the FIU Fun ini Sun Classic, when host Florida International garnered a win, 76- 67. SWC play opened with a hard-fought 56-54 victory over Texas Tech. Junior center Sallie Routt tallied 16 points and Fountain added 12 points to overcome a 27-19 half-time deficit. The long-awaited confrontation with the Lady Longhorns, ranked fifth in the nation, came next.

The half was close, however, and the Lady Longhorns held on with an 8-0 run and never looked back.

We met in front of the Education Building for our group picture. I thought, t1 am never going to remember all the names, much less their numbers?

I ha- venit ever washed someone's dirty socks. I figured it would work out. It had to. That same day we had a midnight practice, yes midnight. The hour most of us sleep or watch David Letterman. Well, I made it through that practice easily. All I had to do was to help dec- orate the locker room, video tape the practice, and eat pizza. Wow, five months more of practice like this, it will be a breeze. That is what I thought, until I had to wash the clothes. Letls put it this way, before I started this job I honestly won- Charlotte Palmer dered why their practice clothes had to be washed everyday. Now, I know the clothes would rot if not cleaned daily.

These washing machines are huge grey steel barrels, big enough to wash a weeks worth of the Brady Bunchls clothes. Their controls belong on a DC-10. I made it through that obstacle, only turning one or two socks pink. My next problem was keep- ing track of six dozen towels. To a man- ager, finding a towel lying around Hofheinz is reason enough to celebrate.

The Lady Coogs also piled up many personal and team records, prompting Coach Bill Walton to say, I am extremely pleased with the season. Looking at the season, Coach Walton had every reason to be happy. It is his second season as head coach, and he has already made progress in the rankings. It was a year where the volleyball team did everything just a little bit better, but with astounding results. At the end of the season, the team was ranked in the top 35, just missing the cut for the NCAA tournament. The SWC was also tough, since the team was ranked 5th in the whole South and only third in our conference. Volleyball started off with a bang, Using effective teamwork, players call the ball they think they can return, with others ready if she misses. Photo by John Schmalz. with an undefeated string of nine games. If the Coogs had beat Indiana, they would have been ranked close to the top 20 in the nation. Unfortunately, late September was not good, as two close matches were lost at home. The losses took away a little momentum that would have been useful later in the season. The team did bounce back, winning five straight games, but another two close losses on the road took away the momentum again. The team finished the season averaging about .500. The year was the best since 1983 when there were also 24 wins, but it seemed as if the close matches just weren't there for the Lady Coogs. In six close matches, only one went to UH. tcontinuedl 138 University of Houston Junior Lashelle Johnson is literally down on her knees as she tries to save the point. Photo by John Schmulz.

The team had lost the first two games, and LSU needed only one more to take the match. UH battled back, and took the next three games in a string of close decisions. The LSU rivalry was put to rest with UH on top. Even though UH is graduating four seniors, LSU has the grudge match as 50-50 for the 1988 game. The reason - the seniors did not play much of the game. The depth of the volleyball team has been one of its best assets, and will continue to be a strong point. The 12 woman squad was comprised of four seniors, two juniors, four soph- omores, and two freshmen. The seniors were Sherri Beyer, Gretchen Klug, Cece- lia Elias, and Renee Battle. Lori Bolk and Lashelle Dobson were the juniors. The sophomores were Latisha Charles, Birgitt Haderlein, Julie Gates, and An- gela Robinson. Leslie Sadleir and Norah Simpson were the freshmen. It is in- teresting to note that both freshmen w; came from the same high school, and they are both Canadian. It is the lirst time since the 1970's that the volleyball team has gone to another country for its players. The Lady Coogs set 16 records on a team and individual basis. Total attacks, kills, errors, and digs all fell as the team became more aggressive. Sherri Beyer gathered an impressive array of records in the areas of kills and total attacks. Julie Gates has the UH record for highest hitting average in a SWC season, and Gretchen Klug destroyed the record for aces in a season. On her way to serving 57 aces, she also managed to set the high mark for digs, just short of 400. Records from UH were not the only awards that the players received during the season. Lori Bolk, a computer sci- ence major, was named to the GTE Southwest Athletic Conference Academ- ic Honor Team. Team captain Bolk said, It was good for the University of Hous- ton because it shows that athletes can be students. Lori is not the only player who maintains excellent grades on the team. Sherri Beyer made the All- Southwest Conference Volleyball first team, and Julie Gates was named to the second team. Julie also earned SWC Player of the Week honors. The goal for the upcoming season is to make the NCAA tournament. To ac- complish that feat, the Lady Cougars will have to continue the trend that they have set this year - always striving to be just a little bit better than last year. - Michael Danke Players constantly want to see hustle.

Mayor Kathy Whitmire proclaimed J anuary 16, 1988, as Grandmaster Kim Soo Day in recognition of Kim's twen- tieth year as a citizen, businessman, and teacher in Houston. In May 1987, Kim was invited by South Korean President Chun Doo-Hwan as one of four Hous- tonians to serve on the presidentis Ad- visory Council on Peaceful Unification between South Korea and North Korea. Kim modestly attributes his success to hard work, and the fact that karate is my life, not my business. Under the physical education class se- lection, Master Kim teaches his system of Cha Yon Ruy, which incorporates Ko- rean hapkido and tae kwon do, Japanese shito-ryu and Chinese chuan fa. The be- ginnersi classes averaged 100 students who worked out in the spacious floor of Hofheinz Pavilion. Those passing the beginners class with a B or better were promoted to the second, or orange belt rank, and allowed to return in the ad- vanced. of Life The advanced classes were necessarily small, allowing students at different levels the personal attention of Master Kim. Students could progress at their own rate, moving up one rank to yellow belt, or to the more advanced ranks of green, blue, purple, brown, and black belt. Students were also encouraged to display and sharpen skills at the Cha Yon Ryu Festival in November where ten students did, in fact, place at the tournament. Master Kim constantly stressed using natural body movements in all defensive actions, and showed how to use facts about the body when protecting oneself from various modes of attacks. Cha Yon Ryu is more than self defense. It is a way of life. Most martial arts instructors teach how to protest on the street and become a champion in competition. I dont be- lieve in that. I believe martial arts is a way of life. When teaching, I emphasize the physical as well as the mental and self esteem. It makes stronger students, said Master Kim. - Sandhya Sanghani In a special demonstration, a black belt breaks boards with powerful kicks while on his back.

The number of schools and contestants, the smooth op- eration on the floor and at various desks, and audience size bear witness to this success. Over 350 contes- tants entered in the festival forms, sparring, and spe- cial events. From age 6 to 59, they came from every Cha Yon Ru school, including the UH PE class. Several states were represented, as well as the Republic of Mexico. The audience was partisan to the sev- eral schools. Perhaps more amused with the participants in the tiny tots division. These six and seven-year olds - fully padded from head to toe - did their best to maintain form and get as many strikes in while still defending them- selves. Of the three categories of events, the sparring held the most attention from the audience. Every move in this event was spontaneous and, therefore, unpre- dictable. Sparring points were given only to controlled punches, that is, no actual contact should be made with your op- ponent. In other words, anyone trying to itThese six and seven year olds - fully padded from head to toe - did their best to maintain form. injure Danial San would immediately be disqualified. Even after the winner of the sparring round had been declared by the four judges at each corner, sports- manship was maintained by having the opponents bow and hug each oth- er. Excitement ran high and injuries were few. The form com- petition simply in- v o l v e d g o i n g through a pre- rehearsed pattern of hand and feet movement. Each belt had a certain set of patterns from which to choose; which ranged from simple H-patterns to three minute black belt forms. Towards the end of the tournament, the audience was captivated by the spe- cial events, which included board and brick breaking. Showing the artistic side of karate, many participants used spa!- cial effects such as blindfold and jump- ing over a number of people. The hard-earned awards were presented by Master Kim Soo himself, and then participants went to socialize and relax at the party held after the tournament. - Sandhya Saughani Sports 147 148 Who Are These Guys . . . When Head Baseball Coach Bragg Stockton gathered his troops for the first practice last fall, he must have won- dered to himself, ttWho are these guys. I've never seen most of them before. What happened to all those guys from last year? In Stockton's first year at the helm, he guided the Cougars to a 40-24 record and a spot in the NCAA Tournamentis final 16. The team finished the 1987 season just two wins shy of a trip to Omaha for the College World Series. But as a new season dawned, gone were nine key regulars from that team, including career leader Larry Coker and record-setting pitcher J ody Supak, both of whom signed professional contracts. The entire starting outfield was missing as well. In their place were 22 newcom- ers, an outrageously high number even by collegiate standards, including 11 jun- ior college players. It was going to be a year to test a coachfs mettle. Returning to help Stockton mold the assortment of new and old players into a team was former Head Coach Rolan Walton, the man Stockton had replaced after the 1986 season. Also joining the team as assistant coaches were former UH All-American Rayner Noble and two players from the previous years squad: Brian Huddleston and Mitch Gaspard. After opening the season by losing one game and tying another against Texas Lutheran in a doubleheader, the Cougars went 12-0-1 over their next 13 games. Big Eight foe Missouri provided the Cougars with their toughest test of the pre-conference season when the Tigers visited Cougar Field for two games on March 13 and 14. The Cougars won the first game 9-2, highlighted by catcher Fred Hinojosais two home runs in con- secutive plate appearances. In the two games, Hinojosa went six-for-eight with two doubles and six runs batted in. But even Hinojosais efforts weren't enough to keep the Tigers from salvaging a se- ries split by taking the second game 12- 11. UH had rallied from a seven run deficit but left the tying and winning runs on base in the ninth inning. The setback was only temporary as the Cougars rebounded to win its next eight games. The longest day of the sea- son came on March 18. While much of the student body was away at the beach on spring break, the Cougars played nine hours and 25 innings to come away with three wins. The day began at 9 am. with the completion of a game that had been suspended by rain the previous day. Dartmouth was defeated 5-2 before win- ning the regularly scheduled game against the Big Green 13-2. Not able to get enough of a good thing, the Coogs returned to the diamond to battle Cal Polnyomona. Hinojosafs leadoff home run in the 14th inning won that one 5-4. None of the fans fand you could count them on your fingers, both handsi at Cougar Field that day could say they hadnit gotten their moneyis worth fall $3 of iti. Heading into Southwest Conference play UH was 24-5-2 and ranked 23rd in the nation by Collegiate Base- balllESPN. It would be their highest ranking of the season as high hopes to contend for the league crown were quick- ly dashed. Houston opened its conference season in Lubbock against the Texas Tech Red Raiders as more than 1000 fans turned out for the first night SWC game ever at Tech.

More costly than the loss to Houston was an elbow injury suffered by ace reliever Mike Pu- lido. Pulido, the team's only consistent stopper, would have to undergo surgery and was lost for the season. After losing two of three at Lubbock, the Cougars returned home to lick their wounds and prepare for an important three game series against the Arkansas Razorbacks, one of the pre-season con- ference favorites and a 1987 College World Series participant. After splitting the first two games of the series, the teams battled through a tight struggle in the second game of a Saturday double- header. Arkansas tied the score at 5 on a pinch-hit single in the eighth inning, just before the game was called due to dark- ness. The two teams returned to the field on Easter Sunday to settle the issue. UH pitcher Bobby Stone came through with a hit to lead off the bottom of the tenth inning and scored on a sacrifice fly by utility infielder Mark Hooker, who was celebrating his 20th birthday. The 6-5 victory was one of the highlights of the year and propelled the Cougars back into the race for an SWC Tournament berth. But the wheels quickly came off for Stocktonls crew. UH lost its next four league games, including a three-game' sweep by last- place TCU and a 20-6 home embarrass- ment against Baylor, the weakest of- fensive team in the conference. Stockton continually juggled the lineup in search of the right combination. UH used 57 different batting orders and 48 different defensive alignments in 58 games. The offense produced well enough, setting a new school record with a .314 batting average and hitting 68 home runs tthird highest in the conferencei. Hinojosa led the league with a .412 bat- ting average and led the team in hits t73i, runs scored M71, doubles 091 and total bases 0131 But the pitching was consistently in- Whereid the Old Team Go? consistent. Senior Woody Williams sparkled early in the year and came within two outs of throwing a no-hitter against Baylor, but eventually Williams wore collapsed under the weight of try- ing to carry an entire staff. It was not uncommon to see Williams pitch in two or even all three games of a three-game series. As Stockton put it after using Williams in both games of a doublehead- er, uIf Woody cant do it, I doubt well get it done. In his spare time, Williams was the teams number one shortstop, played third base and hit .311. The other starters - Brett Simpson, Scott Johnson, Bobby Stone and Eric Rasberry - each turned in fine per- formances but were plagued by incon- sistency. On the all too frequent occa- sions when the starters faltered early in a game, the bullpen provided little relief. UH pitchers recorded only two saves in 58 games. By the time SWC champion Texas came to town for the series that UH players and fans had pointed to all year, the spirit and hopes of the Cougars had all but died. After two one-sided losses to the Longhorns, UH did manage a 6-6 tie in a game suspended by darkness. But, as Stockton said, tithe tie felt just like another loss? Conference runner-up Texas A8LM finished off the Cougars with a three-game sweep in College Sta- tion the following weekend. UH finished the year at 33-22-3, the eighth consecutive year the Cougars have won at least 30 games, but only 6- 14-1 against SWC competition. Unlike many of its SWC rivals, the team failed to draw well at home, a fact that was not lost on the players and coaches. While the teams offensive outbursts placed it among the top five in UH history in several offensive categories the 1988 Houston Cougars proved once again that strong pitching is the most important element for a championship baseball team. a Scott Butterworth Sports 151 Team Leaders Batting Fred Average: Hinojosa .412 Hits: Fred Hinojosa 73 Runs Fred Scored: Hinojosa 47 Runs Ross Batted In: Goolsby 49 Home Mike Runs: Rhodes, Mark Hooker 9 Doubles: Fred Hinojosa 12 Triples: Hinojosa Henry 3 DeLeon 3 Stolen Mike Bases: Rhodes 14 Pitching Frank Percentage: Isbell 3-0 Earned Run Woody Average: Williams 3.32 Innings Woody Pitched: Williams 100.1 Complete Woody Games: Williams 7 Strikeouts: Eric Raspberry 76 Saves: Williams, Rasberry 1 straining for the out.

Sports 153 Going for the Gold The UH track season featured a young team in a period transition, one which was rebuilding for the future. Though as a team UH finished in the middle of the conference, there were several individual highlights. Five UH team members qualified to attend the US. Olympic Trials: Joe DeLoach, junior, in the 100 and 200- meter races, Leroy Burrell, sophomore, in the 100-meter race and the long jump, Kevin Mason, junior, in the 400-meter intermediate hurdles, Theresa Dunn, junior, in the 800-meter race and Jo- landa Jones, senior, in the heptathlon. As of June, DeLoach had the worldts fastest time of the year in the 100-meter. HJoe tDeLoachl is really confident in the 100-meter now, Head Track and Field Coach Tom Tellez said, uAnd the 200- meter is his specialty. Things are really coming together for Leroy tBurrelD, Tellez added, I think he and Joe really were the highlights of the year. The best finish for the men,s team in a major meet was when they took second at the Southwest Conference Indoor Track Championships. DeLoach went on to win the 100- meter race at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships as the Cou- gars nailed down 15th place in the coun- try. On the womenls side of the ledger, there were some adjustments made to boost next yearls team, but at a huge cost to the 1988 team. The two members of the team that were to play key roles, Jones and senior Cheryl Klein, were held back for a year so that they may compete the next year. Jones' importance to the team was made evident by her qualifying for the Olympic Trials, while Klein holds the womenls record for the shotput and dis- cus. As a result, the womenls team limped to a fourth place finish in both the SWC Indoor and Outdoor Championships and a 39th place finish at the NCAAts Out- door Championships. The jury is still out on the year's suc- cess as the Olympic Trials will deter- mine if UH sends any track athletes to Seoul this year. It will be hard, however, to eclipse the production of UH athletes in the last Olympics as ex-Cougar Carl Lewis led a UH entourage that took four golds and one silver medal. Tellez went on to give a barometer to measure the team. ttIf any of our athletes make the US. team, and they have a pretty good chance, then this will have been a very good year for our track team? e- Mike De La Cruz l54 University of Houston Reaching to cover the most distance, Men's Long- jump participants leap high to build momentum.

A Rebuilding Season The school year 1987-88 was one for rebuilding. UH athletics and the cross country program was no exception, as inexperience and lack of athletes led to a down year for the Cougar Cross Country team. Ments Team The merits team started off the year with a bang as the squad took first place at the Texas A8LM Invitational. The Coog trio of Jim Thorpe, Ralph Perri and Jeff Davis garnered a 1, 2, 3 finish at the meet in leading the team to victory. ttThe men did fine this year, Track Coach Tom Tellez said. They were just so inexperienced as there was not a se- nior on the entire team? After winning the first meet, the Cou- gars became inconsistent and finished from third to last the rest of the season. After showing promise by placing fourth among 29 teams at the Lehigh Invitational, the squad floundered at their own UH Tri-Meet by finishing last. The team completed the year by plac- ing fourth at the Southwest Conference Championships and fourth at the NCAA Region 6 Championships. The kids did a good job, they are going to improve, Tellez said, the number of athletes was just not enough this year. Women's Team The women's team did not get off to a quick start like their male counterparts, but they did manage to finish from first to fifth in the meets they competed in. The team grabbed a second place fin- ish at both the Texas A8LM Invitational and the Lori Fitzgerald Memorial iEl Pasoi meets and proceeded to take third at the University of Texas at San An- tonio Meet. The Cougars then hosted the UH Quad Meet and won the event to highlight the year. The team wound up the year by fin- ishing fourth at the Southwest Confer- ence Meet and fifth at the N CAA Region VI Championships. The women had a small team mine memberst, Tellez said. uBut they did an excellent job with what they had? e Mike De La Cruz Sports I 59 Rebuilding . . . What do you do if the winningest coach in NCAA history decides to re- tire? When Dave Williams, who lead UH linkers to 16 national titles, decides to relax and take it easy, how do you re- place him? You hire one of the most successful players Williams ever produced. That man is Keith Fergus, who during his college career at UH played from 1973 to 1976 and won 19 titles, including two SWC individual championships. He was the only golfer in UH history to be named to the First Team All-Americans three times. Fergus joined the PGA Tour where he has won over $990,000 in tournaments. He also owns tour championships at the 1981 Memorial, the 1982 Georgia- Pacific Atlanta Classic, and the 1982 Bob Hope Desert Classic. This professional experience is sure to benefit and inspire current and future Cougar Golfers. Fergus is hoping to continue the win- ning tradition that Coach Williams be- gan 37 years ago in 1951. But this first year was a difficult one, with a young and inexperienced team. Only four players returned from the 186- 187 second place SWC team. You hate to call it a rebuilding year, but it was. The remaining eight players had a lot of junior experience, but little collegiate play. After seeing his inaugural team, Fergus dubbed the team the uDiaper Corps. You couldn,t call it a bad season for a team that placed third at Februaryts SFAtCrown Colony Invitational, played an impressive three round score of 879 continued Sophomore Zoran Zorkic, from Queensland. Aus- tralia, returned as one of Fergus' top players. Zorkic was selected to the SWC All-Academic Honor Team.

Then just two weeks later, the linkers took third place at the SWC championship. Not bad, you say, for an inexperienced team, eh? One of the most experienced linkers on the team is Australian Zoran Zorkic, a sophomore who was named to Golfweek Magazine's 1988 Pre-Season All-American Bronze Team and the All- SWC Academic Honor Team. He fin- ished the season with a 73.5 average for 19 rounds of golf and finished first in the SFIVCrown Colony Tournament. He al- so finished with a good 217 three round score in the All-Americans, and a 145-36 hole finish for ninth place at the SWC championships. Also impressive was a 74.9 average after 13 rounds for freshman Kevin Ba- ker from Canada. His top finish for 1988 was a tie with teammate Zorkic for ninth place at the SWCis. He also finished strong at the Border Olympics Tour- nament in Laredo. Sophomore Dee Green turned a three round 217 to take 11th place, top fm- isher for the Cougars, in the All- Americans and finished with a cool 75.8 average in 13 rounds for a good second year with the Cougars. Another Cougar with a bright looking future is freshman newcomer Greg Cox. He took the fourth best average, a 76.2 in 13 rounds and placed seventh, the highest placed Cougar, at the SWC tour- ney.

Sports 165 I66 Swimming and Diving Briefs 1:3 -. v . Even with a disappointing fifth place finish in the Southwest Conference, the womenls swimming and diving teams managed to produce many individual highlights. The Cougars performed well, with sol- id outings from All-Americans Helena Pirow and Teresa Rivera, both seniors, high scoring from a strong diving team and encouraging numbers from a large group of newcomers. Swimming coach Phill Hansel, who almost single-handedly developed the womenls swimming program 12 years ago, stressed this year the improvement of each individual swimmer and his suc- cess can be seen in the exciting per- formance of Maija Airas at the SWC championships. Airas, a sophomore from Helsinki Finland, took the 50-yard freestyle in 23.08 seconds, the third fastest collegiate time in America before the NCAA cham- pionships. In the 50, she beat three All- Americans, 1984 gold medalist Carrie Steinseifer, and eventual national cham- pion Leigh Ann Fetter, as well as taking the Cougarsl top times in six other events and placing fourth overall in in- dividual SWC scoring. Airas also has an outstanding chance to compete in the 1988 Olympics for her native Finland. Her teammate, Helena Pirow, broke her own school record in the 100-yard breaststroke and qualified for the NCAA championships. The diving team, coached by former Olympian Dave Parrington also had sev- eral great individual performances, in- cluding a fifth place finish for freshman Hanneke Farber at the SWC champi- onships and still maintained a 4.0 GPA for All-Conference honors. Freshman diver Linda Pesek had an outstanding season, setting school records for both the 1 and 3 meter springboard. She finished second in 1 meter and third in 3 meter at the SWC championships and placed 13th at the NCAA championships to qualify for the United States Championships. Junior Rebecca Morse is one diver to look out for next year after breaking the school record by winning the 3 meter springboard for the eleventh time in her college career this year, and could take the record for overall wins in diving for a Cougar next season. She also has a good chance to be named an All-American for l88-189. University of Houston Phill Hansel, has coached the swimming team for twelve years. Photo by Michael Williams.

Sports 167 Journey to the Top Injuries, inexperience and a demand- ing schedule took their toll on the Lady Cougars Tennis Team. The team fin- ished 10-11 in dual matches under sec- ond year Head Coach Cathy Beene, in- cluding a 4-4 mark against Southwest Conference opponents. The Lady Cougars faced seven teams which were ranked in the nations top 20 in the season. Beene defended her strat- egy of schedule top-caliber competition. uWeire going to get better by playing top teams, she said. The team lost dual meets against Trinity, Duke, Pepperdine, Brigham Young, SMU and Texas, finished fourth in its host tournament, the Cougar Clas- sic, and lost to TCU in the first round of the Southwest Conference Tournament. The team leader was senior Kathy Foxworth, a preseason All-American. Foxworth compiled a 23-8 overall record in singles play, including a 12-4 mark in dual meets, and was ranked 2lst in the nation at seasonis end. She posted some impressive wins early in the season against several nationally ranked players while playing in the 1541 singles position. In a dual match against Texas on March 30, Foxworth battled UTis Anne Grousbeck, ranked third in the nation among collegians at the time, for three exciting sets. After losing the first set 6- 3, Foxworth used her serve and volley game to win a second set tiebreaker and even the match before losing a close final set 7-5. Unfortunately a nagging back injury continued to hamper her play and ul- timately forced her to miss three weeks late in the season. She returned in time for the Southwest Conference Tourna- ment but was not at top form in a 6-2, 7- 6 loss to TCUis Rene Simpson. Foxworth finished her career with a first round loss in the NCAA Cham- pionships. Her 70-18 career singles re- cord represents the third highest num- ber of wins ever by a player. She has since turned professional. In addition to her impressive singles record, Foxworth teamed with junior Stina Almgren to form one of the na- tionis best collegiate doubles teams. The two combined for a 13-2 doubles record in dual meets and were ranked as high as fifth in the nation during the season. Almgren, a native of Sweden who en- joyed remarkable success as a freshman two years ago, was battling back from a shoulder injury that had sidelined her for most of the 1987 season. ftNot having played very much my sophomore year made me mentally rusty, she said. fiItis kind of frustrating because you know that you can play a lot better?' Almgren compiled an 11-10 singles dual meet record. Her record suffered when Foxworth was out of the lineup because Almgren was forced to take her place as the in singles player and con- sistently go up against the opposing schoolis top player. After compiling a 10- 6 record playing $42 singles, she was only 1-4 as the lead player. Foxworthis injury affected the entire team. Not only were they missing their on-and-off-court leader and a player who could usually be counted on for two victories fsingles and doublesi in a dual continued 168 University of Houston meet, but her absence forced each player to move a notch and face tougher com- petition. Two players who moved up in class to help the Lady Cougars were sophomores Candy Diepraam and Brigitte St. Hi- laire. Diepraam, whose parents are both teaching tennis professionals, won seven matches in a row late in the season to boost her dual meet record to 12-8 while playing ff3 and M singles. St. Hilaire finished with a 12-9 mark. but her improvement through the season did not escape Coach Beene's notice. itShe's playing a lot more consistent than she did earlier tin the yeari, Beene said after St. Hilaire defeated TCU's Kris Clevengeth in the first round of the Southwest Conference Tournament. Freshmen Laura Hudson and Jenny Mainz gained valuable experience during their first collegiate season. Hudson played K3 and 5642 singles and compiled a 9-12 dual match record which included the loss of four three-set matches. Mainz, meanwhile, won three of her last seven matches, all but one of which were three-setters, to finish with a 7-14 rec- 0rd. Freshman, Beth Disel, failed to win a set in her five matches. During the offseason, Beene signed several new players who should be able to help the returning nucleus next year. Among the newcomers are experience transfers from Texas AKLM and Texas - San Antonio. - Mark Vinson Cougar freshman Jenny Mainz displays a winning form as she completes a match against Southwest Texas State's Tracy Martin.

When the whistle blows for the opening kickoff at the Astrodome, there will actually be three teams on the field: the Cougars, their oppo- nents and a crew of qualified, trained officials. The latter are there to insure that the rules are administered in a fair, unbiased way, and while the men in the striped shirts often raise the ire of the fans, none can deny that their presence is essential to the smooth operation of the game. Unfortunately the powers that be in women's intercollegiate tennis appar- ently take a different view. During a dual meet there can be as many as six matches in progress at once. Yet only one, or occasionally two, referees, are present to oversee the meet. While these referees are available to handle any problems that might arise, it is obvious that they cannot monitor six matches at once. As a result the players are left to make their own line calls. When such is the case, charges of cheating and bias inevitably arise sooner or later. This past season was no exception; in fact several South- west Conference teams have the rep- utation - deserved or not - of cheaters. The solution? Simple. Either play only as many matches at one time as there are officials present or get more officials. While this isn't Wimbledon or the US. Open and tennis is con- sidered a non-revenue producing sport, is it too much to ask for one impartial observer to oversee each match and call balls either in or out? The fans and the players deserve bet- ter than what theyire getting under the present system. - Mark Vinson Sports l 7 l Participation Counts The Cougar Bowling Team has been in existence since the 1970s In the early days of the team, travel expenses and tournament costs were paid by the par- ticipating students. They now have fundraising activities to help with the expenses and to give scholarships to de- serving students. They would like to increase the pop- ularity of collegiate bowling on campus, especially among women. They offer practice sessions throughout the school year with coaches to help improve bowl- ing skills. Bowling with the Cougar Bowling Club offers new friendships, new skills, scholarships, and an oppor- tunity to travel to other universities to develope those skills and friendships. Some of the Fall 1987 intrastate ac- tivities included the Fall Classic, and The Texas Intercollegiate Bowling Con- ference Tournaments. Competition held out of state included the Mid-States Tournament, Kansas City, M0; the Na- tional Collegiate Team Match Play, St. Louis, M0; the Las Vegas Invitational, and the Ragin Cajun Classic, Lafayette, LA where the teams won the Ments and Womenis Division Championships.

Sports 173 Services Jeopardized Students can thank themselves that student services will not fall under the ax of the pro- posed budget recommendations. The bottom line is that nothing was cut. But. first students had to approve a referendum for a $15 per semester University Center Fee and administrators had to transfer money from difr ferent services. President Richard Van Horn has said the first priority has been and continues to be sup- port for academic programs. The administra tion is committed to remaining a NCAA Di- vision 1 School and has already cut the number of athletic teams to the minimum of 12. The monetary problems of the athletic department are due in part to lower enrollment rates, a drop in ticket sales, a drop in the amount of state funding for athletic programs and in television revenues. These problems continued to squeeze the athletics program. During an annual budget review, a committee member said that administrators decided to recommend removal of state funding for the Counseling and Testing Center lCTSl and Ca- reer Planning and Placement and to then shift the funding for these services to the student service fee. The state funds would then be used for faculty salary increases and development of academic programs. The committee member also said that there was no cut in any student service funding, so there was no out in student services. Next year, the same level of student services would be maintained. The administration recommended using a larger portion of the student service fee to in crease the subsidy to athletics. If implemented, these recommendations would have placed a strain on the student service fee. It appeared that handicapped and veterans services, CTS and Career Planning and Placement would be cut. However, the proposals eventually were averted. To protest the proposed budget cuts, veteran uI think their tthe studentsl voice is well heard, but I don't hear an alternate solution - V.P.

The SSFPAC report states that all funded units were concerned that a negative reaction might occur. such as retaining current students and recruiting future students. The committee then formed two subcommittees. The first sube committee explored alternative solutions to the pressing budget problems without negatively impacting student services. The second sub- committee conducted a survey of student opin- ion in regards to a University Center Fee and reviewed various methods with which such a fee could be implemented. SSFPAC then conducted a public meeting that drew more than 300 students, faculty and staff with questions about the recommenda- tions of SSF allocations. The final step in the process was the de- velopment of a Student Service Fee budget, making no assumptions about a possible Unir versity Center fee. That budget was based on the findings of the two subcommittees, the re- sults of the survey, feedback from students. faculty and staff, careful examination of pro- grams, budgets and the president's plan and the personal feelings of the committee members. The committee then proposed a referendum on a $15 per student per semester University Center Fee which was approved in April, and will be instituted in the fall 1988. This frees up $800,000 to $900,000 of student service fee money that was originally to be used for the UC but now will be used for services such as CTS, Career Planning and Placement, Handicapped and Veterans Services. The SSFPAC report states that currently, the University of Houstonls UC is recognized as l7 4 University of Houston the largest facility of its kind in the state and UH is the only senior, public university that does not Charge a separate student center fee. Those fees range from $36 a semester at UT Arlington to $5 a semester at Stephen F. Aus- tin. UH-Downtown has a $25 a semester stu- dent center fee. President Van Horn agreed to a number of concessions if the referendum was approved, among them: a No more than $1.89 million of student service fees will be designated for any one SSF funded unit for 1988-89 and no more than 35 percent of the fees generated for the next four years will be dedicated to any one funded unit, e.g. athletics. M A primarily student committee will be es- tablished to make recommendations on the allocation of all money raised through the University Center Fee. a The first $850,000 in funds generated through the UC fee in 1988-89 will go to operations of the University Center and Satellite, with any excess funds put in re- serve for repairs and renovations of the two facilities. The SSFPAC report says the committee in- tends to develop a student fee plan to be sub- mitted for adoption by the president and the Board of Regents. Such a plan would look at all mandatory fees applied to most or all students, but not tuition, compare UH to other Texas public universities and the Urban 13, which nationally are the 13 major public universities in metropolitan cities, and examine not only what the fees are but how they are administered and spent, and look toward developing more specifically to the purpose of each fee, with the hope that this could reduce the annual debate on what is appropriate. A possible model might be: 1. A student activities fee for student gov- ernment, student programming, in- tramurals and student publications.

A student service fee for Handicapped Services, Veterans' Services, Dean of Stu. dents. Learning Support, Career Planning and Placement, Counseling and Testing, Health Care Center. etc. 3. An athletic fee. The final analysis is that athletics got its money from student service fee money that was freed up by shifting money around from CTS, Career Planning and Placement, Handicapped and Veterans Services. The administrators took state funding from these services and used the money for athletics and salary increases for faculty, thus making the aforementioned serv- ices totally dependent on Student Service Fees and straining the Student Service Fee Budget. To replenish this money the administrators used SSFPAC to approve the $15 UC Fee, which would free up $800,000 to $900,000. - Jonathan Jereb A campus survey According to a survey conducted by the Student Service F ee Planning and Allocation Committee for their Budget Recommenda- tions for fiscal Year 1989 to determine stu- dentsl opinions regarding a University Cente er Fee: 1. A majority of students would prefer a des- ignated fee structure tie. Health Center Fee, UC Fee, Athletic Fee, Student Ac- tivities Feet as opposed to a general fee. 2. An overwhelming minority of students have said that they could not support a UC fee. 3. The top five programs in terms of im- portance for students on our campus are tstarting with the most importantt: - Career Planning and Placement - Health Center - Handicapped Student Services a University Center - Campus Activities 4. The bottom five programs in terms of im- portance to students are tstarting with the least importantt -- Athletics - Spirit Board - Dean of Campus Life - Council of Ethnic Organizations - Intramurals The committee, under the direction of com- mittee member Lenny Cervantes, and with the help of the Assistant Vice-President for Student Affairs, Mark Bookman, concluded the survey clearly shows that Dr. Van Hornis budget proposals are clearly out of step with needs of the students. And since the Student Service F ee is meant to provide serv- ices and programs to serve the needs of stu- dents, and not the needs of any one de- partment, the committee has no alternative than to provide a budget which reflects those student needs.

Van Horn, on April 8, 1988, the Student Service Fee Planning and Allocation Committee stated that its investigation revealed that the Department of Athletics was running an annual deficit of $4 million, and that the total subsidy to athletics over a 10 year period was in excess of $40 million. ttBased on the financial information provided to the committee by the Athletic Department and the Budget Office, said the report, it seems that the University has subsidized, through the fee and transfers, the tathletict program to the tune of $4 million dollars per year. In a decade, that means more than a $40 million dollar subsidy. The committee does not believe that anyone can suggest that gifts and donations from athletic supporters come anywhere near to this figure. Our review also suggests that the real cost of the athletic program is far greater than that reflected in the budget. The budget fails to include the costs of field maintenance, lights, utilities, and other similar support costs? It was reported previously tThe Houston Post, April 2L that for the fiscal year 1989, the Athletic Department requested an annual budget of $3.5 million. The Department said it can raise $1.5 million and wanted a $2 million Student Service Fee subsidy. The budget committee observed, however, that the Department had greatly overrated its fundraising ability, and that even a $300,000 figure would be too optimistic. Despite a misleading initial budget estimate, and the Athletic Departmenth failure to account for the accured $40 million delicit, the budget committee had nevertheless proposed a $1.6+ million Student Service Fee subsidy to athletics. The newly proposed budget figure had also uncovered some $800,000+ in the so-called tttransfer, and a previously unreported departmental revenue of $4.2 million. The total budget for the Department of Athletics that the committee endorsed, oddly enough, was no less than $6.7 million, or $3.2 million higher than the initial request. The former football coach Bill Yeoman, who was forced to resign following one of the Athletic Departmentts public scandals three years ago, was then appointed a fundraiser at $103,000 a year. In three years that hels been on the job, he could not raise more than $30,000. The net drain on the budget just for ex-coach Yeoman - $279,000. It was reported that no more than 6 percent of the students actually attend athletic events. - Fabian Vaksman Sports l 7 5 GROUPS Striking out all on your own and facing the big. bad world for the first time alone is an incredible experience. Even if were old hands at paying bills. balancing Checkbooks, and work schedules, it's always good to have someone to lean on, someone with whom experiences can be shared. Enter organizations. They provide a basis for friendships, a way to get together and relax. to share and to learn. Whatever your interest, what- ever your need, there's always something. Even if the right club for you doesntt exist yet. all it takes is a little initiative and two other people to get to- gether and organize officially. Even if you decide not to register, though. getting together can still be a lot of fun. Groups ranged from the Physical Fitness Club to the Mutant Students' Association, they catered to interests as diverse as Amnesty International and the International Socialistsl Organization to Stu- dents for Bush and the Young Republicans. Through their activities, whether something as large-scale as Food Fair or a simple bake sale in the breezeway of PGH, by sponsoring speakers to raise awareness or offering literature to educate, groups presented a constant offering of information and friendship, making us all more well-rounded, tol- erant human beings. l7 6 University of Houston Organizations 177 TENNIS Men's singles Men's doubles Women's singles Co-rec VOLLEYBALL Women Men Cuerec Division Winner Men's I Men's II Men's III Women's Co-rec I Co-rec II Co-rec III TABLE TENNIS Women Singles Women Doubles Co-Rec Men Singles Men Doubles FLAG FOOTBALL Ind.

Organizations 185 NOW is both a registered stu- dent group and a chartered sub- unit of the National Organiza- tion for Women, NOW. Inc. Like a sorority 0r fraternity, it serves as a friendship group, a place to find others of like mind. It also is supported in its ac- tivities by a national organiza- tion. Unlike a Greek organization, however, it also serves its mem- bers by taking action on feminist issues, actions which are intend- ed to increase political, social, and economic equality for all women and men. Also unlike most sororities and fraternities, it is not a single-sex, and does not discriminate on the basis of marital status, parenthood, sex- ual orientation, race, ethnic ori- entation, or economic condition. The National Organization for Women, was founded in 1966 by Betty Friedan, author of The Femminine Mystique and 29 other women and men to take action and to bring women into full participation in the main- stream of American society now. Its acronym, NOW, by which it is most commonly known, expresses the urgency of its founders.

There are four main national priorities - the Equal Rights Ammendment, Reproductive Rights, Combatting Racism, and Lesbian and Gay Rights. NOW has worked on these issues since its founding in 1981. During Black History Month and Womenls History Month. members sponsored programs combatting racism and sexism, pointing out the similarities and differences between the two. In keeping with the National NOW concern about electing more feminists to office so that when the ERA is passed by Con- gress it will be ratified in State Legislatures, members are active in the College Democrats and in bringing feminist candidates such as Pat Schroeder and Jesse Jackson to campus. Nine mem- bers attended their precinct caucuses and were elected as del- egates to the State Senatorial District Convention. Feminists know that funda- mental to the struggle for equal- ity for all women is the right of each woman to control her own person. This includes the right to define and express her own sex- uality. The label ulesbian is still used to intimidate women, especially those who seek non-traditional jobs or roles. Six members went to Wash- ington, DC. in October to attend a Washington University confer- ence on legal rights for lesbians and gay men which was held the same weekend as the Lesbi- aanay March on Washington which attracted hundreds of thousands in support.

Student chapters exist at most American universities with Industrial Engineering de- partments. The University of Houston chapter, better known as IIE, has been pulsating with activities this year. The basic motive of the HE, is to serve as a plat- form to broaden the per- sonaUprofessional aware- ness and experience of its student members, and it was fulfilled with vigor. Plant tours were organ- ized to industries practic- ing one or more of the wide variety of aspects of con- temporary Industrial Engi- neering. Coca-Cola, Schlumberger, and UPS were a few of the six plants visited. In conjunction with the department of Industrial Engineering, IIE co- sponsored monthly stu- dent seminars presented by graduate students on current research in Indus- trial Engineering related theory and applications.

The annual IIE District Level University Paper Contest is an excellent op- portunity for students to gauge the work of fellow IEls from neighboring schools. The winners could end up in an international competition in which this contest finally culminates. Seventeen student mem- bers, along with faculty ad- viser Dr. Golgen Bengu, went to the contest at Ar- lington in Febf88. Tariq Mian from IIE walked away with first prize. The IIE published three newsletters in the past year. Very aptly titled llOptimal Ramblings, they kept students up-to- date with plans, activities, and the departmental grapevine. This student chapter is also a vital source of student volun- teers for events like Cou- gar Preview, Engineersl Day, Registration, and the Engineering College Phonathon. That takes care of the Hall work part of it. But IIE plays hard too. The past year was sprinkled with picnics. Barbaques, a chili cook-off, get- togethers, and gracefully ended with the HE Annual Banquet and Awards cer- emony. All this surely seems like a lot of activity for one year from a student chap- ter. IIE a Houston senior chapter thought so too, and HE was awarded third place for overall perfor-' mance in a nationwide competition.

Organizations 199 The Collegiate Chapter of the American Marketing As- sociation accepted the chal- lenge to surpass the signif- icant accomplishments of the past, and met that challenge by providing members with a variety of programs and ac- tivities which enhanced the professional image of the chapter. Programming ran smooth- ly with bi-weekly meetings in the fall, and meetings every three weeks in the spring. On September 16, a Get Ac- quainted Meetingti was held to introduce AMA, its Offi- cers, and adviser Dr. Samuel V. Smith, to prospective members. All in all, 23 per- sons - out the 47 who at- tended - joined the chapter. AMATs long list of speakers began with Mary Nell Rock, former executive chef at Truffles, columnist, and suc- cessful entrepreneur, who dis- cussed how she turned a love into a business. Jim Cook, Regional Vice- president of the Men's Ware- house, spoke on how internal marketing and the quality of service can really make the difference. Boyd Armstrong, counselor for the Career Planning and Placement Center, gave pointers on resume writing and interviewing. The fall speaker schedule also included Mike Holsey, owner and manager of Holsey Custom Clothes, Don Brown, president of Taylor, Brown 8: Barnhill, Inc., and Ken Bugh, director of marketing for Wil- son Business Products. After a ttwelcome back in- troduction, Kathy Crawford, principal of the Marcon Group and 1983-84 chapter president, gave a presenta- tion on marketing health care services such as hospitals. Other speakers included Pat Engborek, marketing director for Metro, Joseph P. Raia of International Forum Corpo- ration, Randall A. Napier, as- sistant treasurer of Tenneco, Meeting the Challenge - and Jane Anderson, director of human resources and de- velopment for Palais Royal. In addition to scheduling speakers, the Houston Pro- fessional Chapter invited three members to attend their monthly meetings. The chapter worked in conjunc- tion with this professional chapter and local businesses to conduct a Marketing Week in conjunction with the Col- lege of Business Careers' Day. The highlight of the purely social calender was the Christmas Party. A large number of members attended the regional conference in New Orleans. At the national conference, AMA was award- ed Top Southern Region chapter, and Outstanding AMA Marketing Week Activ- ities.

HI dont know why more stu- dents don't take advantage of the opportunity to go further in their particular majors tby joining an organizatiom, said Sam Smith, a professor of marketing in the Col- lege of Business. Dottie Phillips, assistant direc- tor of student services in the col- lege, said, HRecruiters aren't just looking for book learners any- more? Skills, contacts and experience gained through club membership, Phillips said, are useful for stu- dents pursuing any field. Active membership in an or- ganization shows prospective em- ployers that a student has expe- rience in working with people as a team, Phillips said. Though organizations don't lit- erally place people into jobs, Par- ker said, they do offer connection to the business world. After grad- uation, club alumni status allows members to call on those contacts for job search assistance. Organizations are not only good for job contacts, but also for career counseling, Smith said.

Indeed, these dreams have become reality as seen in the successes of such well-known stars as Dennis and Randy Quaid, Meg Ryan, and Cindy Pickett, all of whom have been trained and coached by Cecil Pickett. Writer David Kaplan,s article in the Houston Post in December 8? depicts Pickettls abilities as an ex- ceptional teacher and di- rector. Kaplanls interviews with Pickettls former- students-turned-stars, such as Brent Spiner tof Star Trekl, boast of the professors tenacity and reputation as a coach. Pickett is only one of the many talented members of the faculty. Drama Department Chairman Sidney Berger says that many may not realize how talented the staff and faculty are in the department. ltThis depart- ment hasan enormous amount of professional tal- ent? Berger boasts. Among the faculty are Claude Caux, a master in fencing and accomplished mime artist. nYou have to take it se- riously and prepare your- self seriously? Caux point- ed out. This intensity is quite evident in Cauxls fencing class. Within 15 minutes from the start of class, Caux has his stu- dents panting. But his stu- dents donlt seem to mind. In the classroom, Cauxls intensity becomes their in- tensity. Berger himself also has an impressive background and is quite active in the Houston drama communi- ty. Founder of the Houston Shakespeare Festival and recipient of the Mayofs Arts Award for Outstand- ing Contribution by a Per- forming Artist, Berger di- rects many productions presented by the Drama Department. HThe UH Theater can be something very special in this coun- try? Berger proclaims. HWe are commited to do- ing this. We want to have a first rate, professional the- ater absolutely commited to conservatory training of young students. Each stu- dents training includes ex- perience with all aspects of the theater.

On the av- erage the drama depart- ment presents 10 productions a year, uA rather huge undertaking for a department of our size says Berger.

Six groups are officially rec- ognized and have one seat in the Concilio de Organaciones Chi- canas. The Hispanic Business Student Association, Mexican- American Engineering Society, Hispanic Law Student Associa- tion, Hijos Del Sol, Hispanic Pre-Law Society, and the Mex- ican-American Student Associa- tion are the student groups. The Concilio is the presiding body of the groups. It allows each group a chance to voice its opin- ions on student life and commu- nity issues. The Concilio works towards recruiting Hispanic stu- dents and helping them complete their college education. Chicano Week is one of the main social events for the Con- cilio. Speakers and other activ- ities bring the general student body more in touch with Mex- ican-American students. Anoth- er event, College Career Day, en- courages high school students of all grade levels to complete school.

Not all groups work for a com- mon goal, though. The four vo- cational groups cater to students with a certain degree in mind. The Hispanic Business Stu- dents Association recruits His- panics for the College of Busi- ness. Its current goal remains to provide a scholarship for Mex- ican-American business stu- dents. The Hispanic Pre-Law Soci- ety also plans for 6-10 scholar- ships worth $1,000 each; working with the Mexican American Bar Association for eligibility re- quirements. As for community work, President J ose Molina said HPLS participated in KQQK- FMls Be Cool, Stay in School program, encouraging high school students to finish their education. . The Hispanic Law Students Association was equally active. HLSA hosted Orientation for the Law Center and conducted workshops on test-taking tech- niques for freshman law stu- dents. Furthermore, they updat- ed and re-published a booklet on law school especially for Hispan- 1C8. The Mexican-American Engi- neering Society tMAESl repre- sented another Hispanic voca- tional group.

Aside from vocational groups, the Concilio has the social group uHijos Del Sol, students who want more focus on Hispanic community issues.

Some of these people live less than a mile from Agnes Arnold Hall, and some work right next door in the Phys- ical Plant, said Braastad, an education graduate student.

Braastad said the Literacy Corps is patterned after a similar student volunteer or- ganization at Rice University, where 25 percent of the stu- dent body is active in com- munity volunteer work. He added that other colleges such as Houston Community College and Baylor Universi- ty have programs that train university students to tutor illiterate people. Students at Louisianats Tulane Universi- ty have given lessons in read- ing and writing to university employees for the past 20 years, he said. The group,s chief short- range goal, Braastad said, is to recruit students to tutor the 30 illiterate maids and janitors who have requested help to overcome their illit- eracy. He added, however, that he ultimately wants the group to evolve into a bigger group that would get students in- volved in community work in the neighborhoods surround- ing campus.

A student looks at the faculty, the schoolts reputation and facilities, and, of course, campus life. The UH Ambassadors wanted to make this choice easier. The Office of Admis- sions had established a program to attract the finest students on campus and allow them the oppor- tunity to promote the school. The organization was primarily concerned with area high schools and talking to students about the university from a stu- dent's point of view. The Ambassadors are also re- sponsible for contact with students wishing to visit the campus by providing daily tours and exposing them to some of the more exciting aspects of college life. Each semester, the Am- bassadors helped organize Decisions Made Easy- and host a day-long open house tCougar Previewi in order to give prospective students a chance to spend a day on campus and fa- miliarize themselves with the school. This open house also gave interested students an opportunity to meet with faculty and staff members from the stu- dentst chosen major, to get questions answered, and to receive information about such topics as financial aid, scholarships, and the University Honors Pro- gram. All in all, the UH Am- bassadors provided a won- derful opportunity for stu- dents to promote the University. -Michael J ohnson and Ed Rogan ---h t2 . . to face the responsibility of chaos- ing a university, a great many factors must be considered. ; WWADORS -- Float: Sonnifer Novnk, Elem Espinou, Chitt- Sankann, Birgit Kanpc.

But this privilege has led to a stormy dispute between the Houston Animal Rights Team tHARTi and the stu- dents who take care of the cougar. Shasta V, who turned eight this year, lives in a small cage on the lawn beside the E2. Cullen building. The students and spectators often see Shasta prowling around the cage gracefully, periodically stopping and surveying the campus around her. She knows who's in charge, Cougar Guard Mike Bell said. Strong opposition to the cat living on campus comes from Sean Haw- kins, founder of HART and a former UH student, who believes that keep- ing the cat in captivity is exploiting the animal. Shasta has no business being on campus. said Hawkins. uA live, ex- otic animal has no place in an in- stitution of higher education. This argument was opposed by the students who take good care of Shaa- ta. Bell argues that setting Shasta free into the wild would endanger her life. She is used to people taking care of her and feeding her, and cannot hunt for food as she has lived in captivity all her life. The cat is not afraid of men, and she could fall prey to some human who could make a lot of money off her. To this Hawkins said that their motive is not to turn Shasta loose, but to find her a suitable home where she will not be exploited and where people can take care of her. Both the parties agree that the present conditions in which Shasta lives is definitely inadequate. The cage is very small and goes virtually unnoticed by a passerby. Funds pose a big problem in resolving this mat- ter. Shasta's proposed new home would cost an estimated $125,000, said Adrianne Peck, Assistant to the Vice-President of Student Affairs. She said that only $14,000 had been collected so far; $111,000 has yet to be collected. Efforts to raise more funds includ- ed the Architecture students' Buy- a-Brick, where students and organ- izations could purchase and decorate Cougar Guard members Christine Ellis and Mike Bell give Shasta ex- ercise, as well as a chance to survey the campus.

If students gave AOC a day, in- stead of buying a Snickers bar, our cat would have a better habitat, Stu- dents Association President Wendy Trachte said. People have criticized Shastals current living condition, although it resembles her natural habitat. and her new home would mainly satisfy the human concern for the cat, said Paul Moore, Vice-President of Stu- dent Affairs. Hawkins, though, is not totally satisfied with the decision that Shas- ta will reside on campus. He argues that Shasta does not have a mate and that is mentally stressful for the cou- gar. Hawkins further added that Shasta, being a wild animal, could pose a risk to the Cougar Guards and the students if she became uncon- trollable. Cougar Guard captain, Danny Barr, strongly disagreed. He said, Shasta has never injured a spec- tator. The fact still remains that there has never been a single student or a spectator injured by a cougar since 1947, which was the first year that UH had a live mascot. Also Shasta does not require a mate as she was spayed when she was younger, Bell said. Hawkins, not totally convinced by the Cougar guards, said that he would like to see the animal off of campus. The Cougar guards, consider HARTs arguments totally ridiculous and still continue to take good care of Shasta and hope that she will move into her new home soon. - Sunil Thakkar Shasta V has lived on the UH cam- pus for eight years - perhaps it's time for a change of scenery.

VIClL TO Save Student Scrwces h Ax, .h SPB VIDEO COMMITTEE 22 8 University of Houston Handicapped Student Adviso- ry Board, as the name implies, is formed by handicapped students and is one of their best means to voice concerns to the adminis- tration. In a crowd of 30,000 stu- dents, a few hundred could re- main unnoticed, but this group is determined not to let that hap- en. The HSAB was formed so that students could get together and discuss events. HSAB provides a means through which issues con- cerning handicapped students are communicated to students, faculty, and administration. When merely voicing their needs proves fruitless, the HSAB has formally protested to get rulings in their favor. Headed by President Rodger Peters, Vice-President Lori J ames, and Secretary Linda Bos- chian, the HSAB has been very active, and plans to continue in the future. They worked with the M. D. Anderson Library to plan a new entrance gate for wheel- chair users. They also worked to have a new West Entrance ramp in the E. Cullen Building. In the spring semester, HSAB proposed to dorm officials that a new and more efficient lock sys- tem be used in handicapped stu- dents, rooms. One other major issue that HSAB worked on is protesting budget cuts in student services. President Van Horn proposed 0 that $500,000 in state funding for the Career Planning and Place- ment Center and the Community Center be used to fund faculty raises, and that the athletic de- partment receive $2 million from student service fees in the 1988- 89 fiscal year. At that meeting, Paul Moore, Vice-President of Student Affairs, proposed that handicapped student services re- ceive 6691; less than this year. On hearing this, angry stu- dents from HSAB gathered out- side President Van Hornis office to stage a week-long vigil to pro- test cuts in their programs. If we sit idly by and let things happen the way the Board of Re- gents wants them to, we aren't going to accomplish anything, said Peters. ttWe have to speak out and make other students un- derstand that they are involved, too, it affects all of us? With constant efforts applied toward their long-term goal of improving the living and stude ying conditions for handicapped students, the HSAB is confident of success. These small triumphs inspire the HSAB onward. e Sunil Thakkar We have to Speak out and make other students understand that they are in- volved too, it affects all of us.

Activities promoting par- ticipation in the election and democratic candidates included setting up voter registration tables, holding a Mock Primary before Su- per Tuesday, and co- sponsoring the J esse J ack- son Rally on campus. To encourage and pre- pare future leaders from the group, the College Democrats also held a Leadership Conference. Two such group leaders in- cluded President Karen Baird and Vice-president Debbie Antoon-Lucas. The purpose as stated by the group of democrats is to educate the student body and faculty on all the current issues, especially the major political issues 0f the upcoming election. Just as the Democratic partyts aim is to fill po- litical positions with Dem- ocratic candidates, the group often supported the Democratic side of the is- sues. The College Democrats felt that the members gained valuable education, were raised to activism and formed lasting friendships.

Dr. Chow is all play and no work. 236 University of Houston Louie Ingelhart, the HDean of Student Publications Manag- ers, once delivered himself of an opinion which, at the time, I thought quite mad. He said, ttWhen an editor takes office, I shake hands, and when hetshe leaves office, I shake hands again. In the interim, I leave them alone. I told him he either had the cushiest job in this field, or that he had a feeble grasp of his func- tion. This was not entirely kind, nor was it a proper response. I have learned that editors, or any bright student for that mat- ter, want to do a good job, to achieve a niche and to stretch the brain. Often, the best one can do is to leave the student alone to do that. That's what Iive tried to do, except in rare instances, which are not the norm. After all, most students are not Eric Hoffer's True Believer, nor are they fools. A few students might have es- caped prematurely from familial authority and feel a need to ex- ercise rage, but they are few. A Student Publications Man- ager-Advisor is roughly akin to being the cruise director on the Titanic. You know itis risky, but why not enjoy the ride? In the first place, nobody knows what the press is sup- posed to do, which is inform and entertain as accurately as pos- sible. In the second place, almost everybody gets mad at the press, usually because it taI got some- thing wrong, or tbi ignored an event of vital importance to you. It's almost a no-win situation Itts My Job for the press, and I include all newspapers, TV and radio - not just the college press. Lastly, as A. J. Liebling once cited in his masterwork. The Press, ttFreedom of the press is relegated to those who own one. What makes the campus press so vigorous is that students have access to the newspaper and the yearbook. Many do not know this, despite regular entreaties from both publications to write letters, opinion pieces or gripes. The campus newspaper is closer to its readers than almost any other medium, with the pos- sible exception of a small town paper writing for an art colony or a feisty New England township divided by caste. The work has been gratifying, the acquaintances many and the joy of seeing students moving on to excel unparalleled. Iim leaving to write books and other things. 01' as a friend ob- served, I am leaving to grow up before I grow old. A last word?

Organizations 237 RESIDENCE HALLS A slow, easyjourney can be made into the adult world via the residence halls. Small elements of grown-up life were missing, services such as housekeeping and mandatory food service plans removed the day-to-day headache of chores, but there was still a chance for responsibility. Suddenly, bedtimes and waking up on time for class become a major part of life, and the decision to cut or not to cut weighs heavy on everyone's mind. Not exactly the most homey place in the world, just over 2,000 of us still managed to call it home. Wheth- er we faced the pecan walls and tasteless carpeting of the Quad, or the sterile, attached furniture and skin- ny windows of the Towers, or the tiny cubicles of Cougar Place, it was still all your own. With ready- made home came a ready-made family, with a room- mate to take the place of a beloved sibling-confessor. best friend or worst enemy; a parent in the guise of the RA. and a whole slew of distant relations down the hall, we were able to settle in with a minimum of confusion and discomfort. No matter how new the experience or howjaded the resident. there was always a surprise to be found. Life in the residence halls wasntt always grand or won- derful, wasn't always wild or disruptive, and it wasn't exactly exciting or different. But it was our life, the center of the world for a semester at a time. 238 University of Houston Residence Halls 239 NORTH TOWER - 2ND Front: Wendy Stewart, Naaz Shirazee, Ramana Jones, Yolanda Taylor, Shannon Hills.

You drive to school eve- ry day and. in an attempt to save money, you shell out $10 for a parking sticker. under the stipula- tion that you park in the outlying lots. Sounds easy enough, However, you fail to re- alize the true definition of the word outlying. The term actual- ly means, you cant see the uni- versity from here. Your first day at school is a dis- aster. Even the lot behind the football sta- dium is packed. You spend 15 minutes searching for a space and five minutes walking to the shuttle bus stop where you wait 20 minutes for your ride to campus. When you finally arrive in class, the profes- sor is packing up his lec- ture notes as the students file out. Never again. you mumble. That afternoon you con- tact your friend t'Lefty, who knows a guy who works for a girl that used to hang out with someon'e in Parking and Transpor- tation. Somehow, Lefty is able to get you a $70 stick- here. Sometimes even the $2 discount for the 810 Super Cuts hairstyle was too expensive for students. It was then time to rely on your roomles' talent.

And, best of all. you'll be in time to class. Think again. The regu- lar lots are no better. You conclude that the univer- sity has sold more parking Outlying: the term actually means. you can't see the univeristy from stickers than there are spaces for. The only way to get a space is to follow someone out to their car when they leave. You spot a girl leav- ing the business building. She walks down a row of cars. Slowly, you drive along behind her, glancing around for other vehicles that might try to move in on your claim. On she goes. Finally, she arrives at a white Subaru hatch- back. You wait patiently for the moment when the space will be yours. She opens the door. She reach- es into the back seat and picks up a notebook from her car. she closes the door and locks it. What?. you think. Once again, she starts walking, back to the business building. t'Wait!!!, you scream. ttyoulre supposed to go home now! Come back! It just isn't fair. As a last resort, you park at a meter. You force-feed all of your change into the parking meter and just make it to the class on time. Upon your re- turn, you find a blue and white paper tucked un- der your wind- shield wiper. Yes. it is a parking ticket. No, the me- ter has not run out of time.

The on- ly exception was Bates, which stayed female until after the Towers were constructed. After this step, Penett said, college life settled down a bit.

Although most of the Quadrangle was coed when the Towers were built, these new dorms didn't start off that way, Penett said. The North Tower was all-female and the South Tower all- male.

Fourth floor resident advi- sor Steven Kyle said he had expected the hall to be quiet but was happy with regular hours because they seemed to be what most of the kids wanted. ttMost people felt they could study and sleep with regular quiet hoursfl he said. Because of the change, the third and fourth floors of Set- tegast Hall and all of Oberholtzer Hall have been designated 24-hour quiet to accommodate residents who want less noise. - Beth A.

But this post-World II housing was replaced by the Quadrangle dorms in the t503. Later, the Moo'dy Towers and Cougar Place were added. In the future, of- ficials say, UH may be considered a residential school instead of a commuter cam- pus. Housing has had a long and colorful history and, in fact, has produced in- novations such as coed dorms and necking rules. Houston veterans returned from World War II ready to start new lives. Many decided to start families as they pur- sued their educations. But iirst they had to have a place to live. Now, it's simply known as the Quad, and houses unmarried honors stu- dents, athletes, and upperclassmen. Photo by Paul Nicosia. That was the primary purpose of the housing - for veterans returning from WWII, said Ray Stidham, who retired from UH in 1980 after 37 years of service. He was a maintenance man when soldiers began returning from Stidham said he remembers standing in mud up to his knees that first year . . . war. Stidham said this first housing area was called Preg- nant Valley ttbecause there were so many young couples coming back and quite a few children born there tin the trailers and barracksi.

Living in the dormitory provides for many interesting experiences and opportuni- ties for personal growth. Life can best be separated into two categories - weekdays and weekends. For some in- dividuals, the two are one. In the Quad, the floors are coed without any sort of cur- few, compared to other Texas state universities. To the disappoint- ment of some, the dorm rooms are still single sex. Each floor has one or two resident ad- visors, affection- ately called by the acronym RA. They closely parallel prison guards, being responsible for enforcement of dormitory policies. An RAis character can range from friendlike to Stalinistic-like enforcers such as a former marine who pa- trolled not only his floor but the other three floors of the building at all hours of the night. Some RAs are insane about quiet hour restrictions, being able to hear distant conver- sations with the acoustic sen- sitivity of an audio telescope. If there are two RAs on the floor, it is almost certain that each will have radically dif- ferent personalities. My RAs could respectively be de- scribed as the ttYingii and the Yuck. These RAs have en- forcement powers 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Communication remains one of the most important elements in the re- lationship between RAs and resi- dents. Photo by Paul Nicosia. During weekdays, most of the time in the dorm is spent sleeping, visiting friends, thinking about doing home- work, and sometimes doing homework. During week- nights, most residents stay up all night. During weekends the dorm is often a quiet place depend- ing on whether or not your The character of the RAs range from friendlike to Stalinistic. room happens to be the site of a party or close to the site of the party. If you happen to be blessed by living across from a room of fraternity brothers, you will be in for a night of wan- dering drunk people, loud head banging music and a unique aroma in the air. If you happen to be a poor sod with a Saturday test, it is guaranteed that the biggest party of the year will happen in the room right next to yours that Friday night. Usually the RAE; on the floor attempt to schedule reg- ular activities for their res- idents. These events depend mainly upon the RAs imag- ination and interests, tag. a tour of the Budweiser facto- ryl. Some regular events in- clude a weekly video movie night and a monthly birthday party for those celebrating a birthday. On Fridays, certain dorms have loud hours which allow residents to expend pent up emotions by playing music as loud as possible. Some, like myself, have mondo stereo systems, pumping 200 watts per channel with enough bass to find the resonant frequen- cy of every item in your room and of- ten the resonant frequency of the RA, who then dulls life by citing peo- ple for being too loud during loud n hours- There is a def- inite trend among students in relation to dormitory life. Freshman students move into the dorm believing that col- lege life is a retake of Animal House, partying and drinking almost every weekend. As the respective residents mature tor when the first set of grades get mailed homel residents have a tendency to spend more time on their ac- ademics and less time on drinking such favorites as trashcan punch or jungle juice. The older residents with cars tend to leave cam- pus in search of a wider range of activities. The attrition rate from dorm residence is quite high for older residents. - Patrick Davis Residence Halls 273 274 --'-N: O'cwv-I N :3 0. Front: Mary Wilkey, Monica Gries- sel, Jena Porter.

Right now this is all concept, he said. After the architect designs the complex it may turn out to be bigger. The Board of Regents chose the architecture firms of HouselReh and Associates and A m b r o s e , McEneny and As- sociates, who will work together on the project.

It's not until you get with- in hugging distance that you know what Camp Cougar is all about - camp official Gilbert Enriquez Camp Cougar is an over- night camp e for retarded children, teenagers and adults - which has been held in the residence halls every summer for the past 14 years. The camp offers an opportunity for the mentally re- tarded to have fun while learning im- portant social skills. It also pro- 99 vides a much- ' ' ' needed rest for the parents 0f the n campers, whose children require special care. The camp is funded by the Mental Health and Mental Retardation Association, the Pasadena Pilots Club and the university. The campers range in age from 7 to 50, most between the ages of 7 and 16, said Bobby Brownstein, Assistant Director of Residence Life. tlThe goal of the camp is for them to have a great time, said Enriquez. Having a camp fire, a dance, or a pool party are re- ally new experiences for some of the kids, said Brownstein. Any experience they have that they can get with other children and adults is helpful with them, he said. The socialization that the camp provides is one of the best benefits, Enriquez said. The campers have a lot of fun while learning important skills. One parent, Marissa Cas- tillon, said of her daughter, ttShe loves to socialize. This is a fantastic opportunity that also gives her a feeling of independence. She looks for- ward to it all year. Castil- lonls daughter, Martha, is 21. Having a camp fire, a dance, or a pool party are really new ex- periences for some of the kids David Hernandez's son en- joys the camp so much that the first thing he says after they leave is, Dad, make sure to sign me up for next year? Some students may learn more swimming or arts and crafts, while others learn more social skills, said Brownstein. The camp also gives them some independence. uFor some of the kids it's their hrst time away from homefl he said. uLots of children need this as their lirst camp, said Jo Ann Power, mother of a camper. Since they are rarely away from home, some of the kids never develop basic skills, be- cause their parents try to do everything for them. Camp Cougar helps them 276 University of Houston get ready for the real world. They learn daily living skills such as making their bed and brushing their teeth. We treat them just like normal kids? Enriquez said. Camp Cougar also gives parents a break, Enriquez said. uThere are not many places that will keep retarded children. There are only a handful of camps and Camp Cougar is the best, he said. ttWe were given a 98 out of a pos- sible 100 by the American Credit Association on an evaluation of our budget, activities, safety, training for counselors and goals and objectives, he said. And, iiCamp Cougar is the only one sponsored by a university. Camp Cougar is run mostly by volunteers, with a few paid staff members. Enriquez says volunteers are always needed. High school volunteers serve as counselors and col- lege-age volunteers serve as . programmers and team cap- tains. Many high school students from Strake Jesuit and St. Agnes volunteer as camp counselors. Students from these two schools are re- quired to serve 100 hours of community service in order to graduate. Counseling at Camp Cougar meets this re- quirement. tcontinuedl 1988 was the first year that Camp Cougar had the support of a poster child to promote NOVA. Photo by Hugh Tom.

Settegast - 4th 280 University of Houston Just Another Co-ed How many mothers would give up a secure home exist- ence to live among the ranks of frustrates, hsssle-plaqued college students? Picture this - a brassy, somewhat eccentric student, known to us dorm residents as our not-so-typical resident advisor. She has no house or apartment. Just her comfort- able somewhat lived-in dorm room. To her, this small cu- bicle, cluttered with old test, tattered posters and maga- zine stacks is home.

She attends classes dai- ly tcutting occasionallyl and eats her meals in the dorm cafeteria twe all brave through thisl. But, she is not just another co-ed. About the time many of us were only a twinkle in our parents' eyes, JB was out working. About the time that our mothers were counting our fingers and toes, she was giving birth to her first child. Shels obviously a bit more seasoned than the rest of us residents. After a divorce, two chil- dren, several jobs, some in- teresting experiences and commendable accomplish- ments, JB decided to tackle college. Money was a bit tight. She really didnt know how to pay for classes, but she was de- While residents must learn how to live without their parents, they still enjoy traditions like dying Easter eggs to feel more at home.

Before actually meeting her, I had heard from a for- mer floormate that she was much older. Another long semester, I remember saying to myself, and probably a couple of bad checks, too. If I had wanted to live with my mother for the duration of my college life, I could have stayed in Dallas where school was less expensive and I had friends. My mind was made up. I wouldnlt put up with a mom around, I would move. After all, a mother is a mother and why should this one be any different? As it happens, it is difficult to change rooms, especially if you have no other reason than an unknown RA. At first, I expected to be greeted with lectures about the uhear-eamed money my parents had put out for my education and how I should be thankful. But, there were no stories about how she walked five, may ten miles in the snow with no coast, just to get to a school each day. The anticipated sermons on the evils of drinking, smoking, sex and drugs were not forthcoming. Occasionally, a resident would walk down the hall with a guy in the early mom- ing hours with the hopes of eliciting one of those menac- ing umother looks. No looks. She kept her door open. I concluded this was her not- so-subtle way of spying on us. At times, someone on our floor would overestimate their ability to consume a massive quantity of liquor and wake up feeling as though they were an endless ocean cruise. Still, no response no lecture no mothering. Did she intend to just ig- nore us? Perhaps she had de- cided to accumulate data and dump it on our parents when they visited for a weekend - a sneaky way to get even. Maybe she didnlt care. We could blow the whole semes- ter for all she cared as long as her room and board were paid - the chicken way out. This woman called herself a mother? Most of our moth- ers would never have toler- ated such behavior from day one! They would have set us straight in no time. Then, it hit me. JB was a mother but she had not come here to be OUR mother. She was here as an RA, a peer and just another college co- ed. Very few mothers would trade their roles for that of college student. This one did and it looks as though she's here to graduate. - Angela Taylor Residence Halls 281 282 Cedric Howard. .-.-:.3 3: Front: David Martel, D. Warren, Terrance Sanders.

Spring is a little slow, Shankar said, but itbelieve it or not, the later part of De- cember is the bus- iest. Shankar handled eight wed- dings the weekend before Christmas last year.

Many people discover the center's appeal by attending someone else's wedding. However, most of the peo- ple who marry there are stu- dents nearing graduation, Budewig said. Finestone said the chapel is convenient for many because it is multi-denominational. The clergy brings in the appropriate symbols for their religions' wed- dings, she said. Though the weddings tend to be traditional, one couple arrived on motorcycles, Shankar said.

However, you fail to realize the true definition of the word out-lying. The term actually means, tiyou can't see the university from here. Your first day at school is a disas- ter. Even the lot behind the stadi- um is packed. You spend 15 minutes searching for a space and live minutes walking to the shuttle bus stop where you wait 20 min- utes for your ride to campus.

You spot a girl leaving the business building. She walks down a row of cars. Slowly, you drive along behind her, glancing around for other ve- hicles that might try to move in on your claim. On she goes. Finally, she arrives at a white Subaru hatch-back. You wait patiently for the moment when the space will be yours. She opens the door. She reaches into the back seat and picks up a notebook. Get on with it, you think. Taking her notebook from the car, she closes the door, and locks it. ttWhat? you think.

Residence Halls GREEKS Coming of age enbles us to identify our own friends, to let us know enough about ourselves so that we can identify others like us. When finding friends, it is rare that any group will be able to form closer, more last- ing ties to any group of people the way it is possible within the Greek system. Most Greeks are founded with philanthropic in- tentions and spend the year planning and executing various charitable activities. From the Delta Upsi- lonsi John-a-Thon to the food drive sponsored by Delta Sigma Theta, many good works were done by fraternal societies. Charity. however, does not rule out plain, old-fashioned hedonism. Most Greeks are not known for their charitable works. for their ever-increasing academic standards, or for their fine, for their long-standing traditions. They are known, quite simply, for their parties. Start- ing with fall rush. parties were a tradition unto them- selves, created to lure new members into the fold, then continuing to promote goodwill within the Greek system. helping form friendships between men and women who were coming unto their own. 2 90 University of Houston Founded at Howard University on January 13, 1913, Delta Sigma Theta now has over 125,000 members world- wide with chapters in the United States, West Germany, St. Croix, Virgin Is- lands, and Nassau, Bahamas. There are 735 chapters. Maintaining a public service objective, the sorority has done various commu- nity service projects. A food drive was the major project for the Zeta Sigma Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta. Their food drive was held to benefit the Star of Hope Mission and Neighborhood Community Service h Centers, Inc., and was co-sponsored by Majic 102. Delta Sigma Theta was also chosen to conduct 3 Just Say No to Drugsf' pro- gram at St. Marys Catholic, helping not only those with immediate need, but striving to protect children from need. They visited several local hospitals to help spread good will, and adopted needy families, helping to provide for Hous- tonians in need.

An Educational Pledgeship Scavenger hunts and midnight cal- isthenics are out for Greeks: Educa- tional Programs that stress know-how over show-how are now the rage. Pledgeship has turned to educa- tion? Tau Kappa Epsilon member Clark Holzhauser said, ttIt's strictly educational, from books. Its a learn- ing program more than an endurance program. A new and improved version of Tex- asi anti-haze law takes effect today, The new law makes participation in, or knowledge of, a hazing illegal, and it calls for university publication of the law, as in student handbooks. Pen- alties extend to $10,000 fine andlor two years in jail. Campus Activities Director William Munson said, student life policy bans hazing, as defined in the student handbook, and violators have been subject to disciplinary action from the Dean of Students Office. uHazing has occurred or will occur in all organizations, Munson said, iiand our goal is to provide informa- tion on what is hazing. HThe traditional definition of haze ing is fuzzy, anyway, he said. But the new law,s definition is hardly fuzzy: An intentional or reckless act directed against a student that endangers his mental or physical health. The activ- ity is usually performed by students who want to pledge, initiate into or main- tain membership in an organization. The law bans physical brutality, phys- ical activity, activities involving consump- tion of a food, liquid, drug, or alcohol, intimidating or humiliating activities and activities that cause a student to break a law. Assistant Dean of Students William King said two university organizations have been on probation for hazing in the last two years. At least 39 hazing deaths have occurred in the United States since 1978, seven in the last five years. Twenty-seven states have hazing laws, four of which were passed in the last year. Illinois passed the first law in 1901; it has since been updated. Texas first passed such a law in 1937. Efforts to strengthen it failed in 1985, but the 1986 hazing death of University of Texas freshman Mark Seeberger helped push the new law through the Texas Legislature in June. Seeberger died after being chained in- side a van and driven around Austin, while being forced to drink with his free hand. His fraternity, Phi Kappa Psi, was sus- pended from the university for four years, and eight students were disciplined. Hazing is nothing new to Texans: e A former UT student, Lee Roever, settled a hazing lawsuit with his former fraternity, Alpha Tau Omega, last month. Roever al- most lost a hand after the fraternityis Help Week in January 1986. Roever said he and his fellow pledges were locked in a room, pelted with 800 dozen eggs and deprived of sleep during the week. He developed a fever of 106 and a staph infection in his hand. He said he brought the lawsuit to help cover almost $25,000 in medical fees. The fraternity lost university privileges and its national char- ter for at least three years. Sen. Gonzalo Barrientos, the sponsor of the Texas Law, said he was first exposed to hazing while growing up in Bastrop, Tex- as. ttIt never failed. Once a year or once every other year, three or four naked stu- dents came knocking on our door, asking to use the telephone. - Texas AKLM Corps Cadet Bruce Goodrich died of heat stroke in fall 1985 after being forced to perform motivational exercises. Other pledge- related deaths have been reported at La- mar University, Baylor University and Texas Tech. Psychologists say hazing occurs because of a desire to fit in with a group. Rachel Lauer, director of Pace Univer- sity's Thinking and Learning Center, counsels hazing offenders. ttIt's nothing more complicated than they did it the year before, she said. uThe harder it is to fit into a group, the more people want to join. - Ruthie Piller Greeks 299 Racing for Charity 300 The students who ate at the UC on Friday, March 4 were treated to a little more entertainment than usual. The Sigma Nu fraternity held their bike race that day under clear skies and perfect biking conditions. The event, held since 1965, has been a fundraiser since its inception. The preparation for the race was ev- ident e the street between the UC, the seal, the hotel, and the information booth had been closed off to make an oval track. A huge sound system and scaffolding dominated the median. Bi- cycles and helmets were everywhere, and team mechanics looked over their ma- chines and made fine tuning adjust- ments until the start of the race. Well before the start, fraternities and soror- ities crowded on to the sidewalks to cheer on their teams. The menis race was won handily by the TKEis, while the womenis race went to the TKE little sisters. Dan Smith, a Sigma Nu alumnus, won the open race. The Delta Zeta's showed their stuff by winning the Spirit Award. The DZis had come up with the most canned food and SIGMA NU PLEDGES: Front: Paul Laurienti, Dave Dahlke, George Gore.

Although the races were over by four - with traffic restored to some grateful people in E. Cullen - the days activities were not at an end. The after-race TGIF party charged a small donation for ad- mission, and Johnny and the Convert- ibles and Power 104 kept things going until early Saturday morning. In all, the Sigma Nu,s raised over 700 dollars and 300 cans of food for charity. e Michael Danke Sigma Nu was founded in 1869 at the Military Institute to oppose hazing and to cherish honor.

When the winner was announced the crowd went into an ecstatic frenzy as they rushed the stage. The new Miss Eboness 1988 was none other than Emma DuBois who made a complete sweep in the categories of swim wear, talent, evening wear and question and answer. During her crowning, Du- Bois burst into tears as she thanked the crowd gathered at the UC Houston Room. In the talent competition, DuBois presented the audience an interpretation of a monologue by Jane Pittman, one of the first Black Americans to publicly challenge the segregation laws by drink- ing water from a ttwhites onlyt water fountain. DuBoist imaginative perfor- mance won the talent category for its intelligence and wit, judges proclaimed. Crowning Glory Along with her title, Emma DuBois won a scholarship from Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. After her graduation in December, Emma, a senior math major and mem- ber of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc., plans to become a certified actuary and hopefully go on to get her teaching certificate. DuBois was crowned by Tiffany Da- vis, Miss Eboness 1987 and a sophomore accounting major. Kim Dunkins, a freshman pre- business major, was announced as run- ner-up, while Shannon Hills, a junior marketing major was named Miss Con- geniality. Rhonda Shelby, a freshman radio-television major, was also a con- testant. Overall, the evening was a huge suc- cess as the pageant continues to gain more notoriety throughout the campus. a J.C.

The current chapter was organized as the local Sigma Tau Omega in 1968 and was chartered as a chapter of Delta Upsilon at the Uni- versity of Houston on April 28, 1973. DU is the only open-ritual fraternity on campus. Their mascot is Dexter Duck, their flower is the tulip, and their motto is HJustice, our Foundation? While sitting on a toilet may not seem like it would be the most productive of events when done publicly, during the spring the Sigma Tau Omega Chapter of Delta Upsilon managed to make it a rousing success, when they held their 12th annual John-a-Thon at the UC. Members each took turns sitting on a porcelain throne for two hours at a time to raise money for the national philan- thropy for the ttDucksf the Villages, a shelter for abused mothers and children in Topeka, Kansas. In addition to the John-a-Thon, a pushball tournament was staged as part of Homecoming Week celebrations, as well as many events of a more social nature. The fall KicksofftDelta Downs party, the Revenge of the Gods, the Hur- ricane Golf mixer, and the Backyard Blowout were all a part of the festivities offered for the Ducks. To close out another successful year, the Ducks and their alumni celebrated fifteen years of existence on campus with the Sapphire Ball held at the, Galvez Hotel located in Galveston in April.

Tau Beta Sigma membership is comprised of female members of the band, Colorguard and Cougar Dolls, whose participation and performance with the band is considered outstanding by Directors Robert and Diane Mayes and active members of Tau Beta Sigma. Actives are required to participate in at least one ensemble each semester talthough most of them are not music majorsi and must always maintain an A in band, a cumulative GPA. of 2.0 for active membership and officers must maintain a 2.25. Tau Beta Sigmais re- sponsibilities include the circulation and upkeep of uniforms and music, provid- ing a reception at each wind ensemble concert, updating band members on up- coming activities and birthdays and many other services provided jointly with Kappa Kappa Psi, such as main- tenance of the band annex, transpor- tation of equipment during rehearsals and performances and recruiting. Tau Beta Sigma is not all work and no play. Parties are organized for the band and visiting bands during football sea- son. Also, Tau Beta Sigma has joint pledge functions with Kappa Kappa Psi which include costume parties and din- ing out. -- Melissa Lang TAU BETA SIGMA NATIONAL HONORARY BAND SORORITY 312 University of Houston N ' H $- .- a...

These founders created a legacy in order to enrich the lives of young men and women. In order to accom- plish this goal, they felt that receiving a higher education, living by the ethical stan- dards, and rendering unselfish service to the community would make for a more pros- perous society. Sigma Gamma Rho is a nonprofit organ- ization which prides itself on the encour- agement of high scholastic achievement, the promotion of community service, and the establishment of lifelong friendships. They hope to foster better relationships among all organizations within the Greek system. In order to make this life-long goal a reality, they participated in several Greek and campus events. The events ranged from the Cougar Rendezvous t0 Alpha Kappa Al- pha's tTribute to Lynn Eusan. Sigma Kap- pa Rho also participated in such projects as the Vocational Guidance and Workshop Center in New York City and Project Re- assurance, which stressed high ethical and academic standards. P rogress Through Service Locally, Sigma Gamma Rho was involved in the Juvenile Diabetes Foundationls Walk- a-Thon and the March of Dimes Teamwalk. In addition to this, they provided a sup- portive atmosphere for its members in terms of academic growth. Their motto is HGreater Service, Greater Progress. Other activities included the Fall Activity Marts, Founderis Day, and the Alpha Phi Alpha HTribute to Black Greek Americans. The number of activities sponsored by and participated in by the sorority is all the more impressive when one considers that they have only four members live on campus. Vice President and Dean of Pledges, Joanne Oten, is looking forward to an in- crease in membership. She hopes that in- creased visibility will lead to more partic- ipation and membership.

Iv 320 University of Houston From the desk of: Sandhya A. Sanghani layout 6:21:11 , I989 Eclilor-ellu'f, The yearbook is finished. It feels great to be able to write an end- of-the-year reflection upon the yearbook's completion. This year on the editorial staff has brought many challenges and learning ex- periences. The most important concept I learned concerns how to work with people. Ilve learned that you need others practically all the time. No task in yearbook production can be completed without the cooperation of at least one other person, usually without the help of a number of others. Therefore, an editorial staff member must know how to effectively enlist the creative help of others, and also motivate others to initiate creative work for themselves. When you get a favorable response from other people because of their own enthusiasm, things become easy for you; you need only direct their efforts. To the rest, as my father has advised many times, you must Hsell your ideaslI to impress upon them why certain things are expected or needed from them, and how are some good ways of accomplishing the tasks. Once you get them going and committed to the goals, you need to remind them of not only how they are appreciated, but what they, too, are benefiting from what they are doing. For the yearbook staffers, they should not only be appreciated by the editor, but given sufficient monetary rewards and attribution of their work for future opportunities. I believe this, with all my other tllessons, was most important to me as a learning experience for my editorship of the 1988-89 Houstonian. I hope I am able to recruit, motivate, and benefit the students, faculty, administration of this university stemming from the positive experience of this year on staff. Constant striving after our aims in life will surely end in success . . . never be disheartened by temporary reverses. e Kamal Pasha. Staff 321 From the desk of: Mark Lacy Managing EJIIOI' My involvement with the Yearbook has taught me that being a student leader is akin to being a university administrator. Many students are not inclined to figure out how they effect the kind of services that are offered to them at a university. Nor are they likely to question what course their money will take once they have paid their tuition and fees. And that ineptness 0n the part of the student is what most administrators count on. A student who initially takes on a leadership responsibility may be over- whelmed by the matter at hand in nearly any organization without a solid foundation. which is often the case. Highly valuable programs are neglected and many student leaders are not versed in the kind of experience that it takes to rise from entry level student to competent student leadership. The yearbook has. over the years. faced a broad range of these problems. And this year is no exception as the staff has faced an increasingly difficult set of problems. The task would seem clear a under the guidance of a well-qualified student leader, the Editor. would produce the University of Houstonts official yearbook. But most students are not aware of the amount of control - and in some cases. the lack of control a that the Editor possesses. The Editor is at a severe disadvantage because the students are not aware of the forces at work, and generally do not want to know. This means that it is possible for The Editor to take on the task of producing the yearbook without sufficient experience. Even as the problems the yearbook organization faces are recognized. they continue to plague the organization year after year. Many of thoseforces at work. being in administrative hands. would logically guide the yearbook in a positive direction. However. they are often ineffective, perhaps even coun- teractive. The Journalism Department has long held a laissez-faire attitude towards the yearbook and the Student Publications Committee, which is a body that enacts policies and elects editors and has had limited authority. The de- partment has historically neglected the committee by way of ignorance. Most who comprise these bodies take the same attitude that students take - that it is far too complicated. far too time consuming and better left to thejudgement of administrators. --------- -i 322 University of Houston But one must first understand administrators' motives as I have before concluding that administrators will inevitabley want what is best for the yearbook to provide a quality product for students. It would not be thought by many that their Yearbook is a source of revenue. the same as concession sales at a basketball game is revenue. Students would be surprised to learn how important a mere few thousand dollars are to the budget of this immense university. It is amazing the pressure applied to raise seemingly small revenues, and the effect on the operations of the yearbook. In making the transition from student to student leader one would hope that the goals the administration seek for the Yearbook would center around student education, national recognition, as well as the value of the yearbook to the history of the university. But in making the discoveries as a student leader that many students never make. I can see that administrative priorities are not always in step with education, and are in fact surprisingly different. Selfportrait by Mark Lacy.

Taylor Publishing Company in Dallas, TX. printed Volume 54 on 80 lb. paper stock. The binding is Smyth bound and sewn. Our Taylor representative was Kathi Cook. who without we could not have completed all 400 pages. The cover was designed by Mark Lacy, our managing editor. in August, due to the unexpected design cost of our original cover. We used 1 1 point Century School Book type for our body copy and the captions are set in 8 point. The school portraits on pages 84-115 were taken by Sudlow Photography of Danville. 111. Less than 600 students were photographed. We have yet to de- termine the reason for the low turnout as they are free and the photographers were here for two weeks, once in the fall and again during the spring. There are 48 pages of advertisements, t351-3991 which were submitted by Anthony Advertising Agency. This year the book sold for $25.00 each. but there are rumors that the price will increase to $30.00 next year.

Due to personal reasons she was unable to complete the book. University of Houston From the desk of: Lara Schultz Co-editor-in-Chief Power. Dizzy with it stumble. Detail. . A Chancefor us to quarrel. Anger, My head is shaken violently. If! could calm or restrain you a for the sake ofpity - Save the pistol. Save the synic's tongue. Save the cool white stare. And treat me to an honestface sometime. Amaze me now. Our world is in chaos -- it appears impossible for us to attain a peaceful and harmonious coexistence with our neighbors. There is always a war; always a scandal, for our society to embrace. Yet, we go about our daily affairs and hope that the rude intrusions of the outside world do not enter our coveted space. We blindly continue with our jobs and our beliefs in the hope that all that is bad will simply go away. Occasionally. we peak outside and allow pieces of the outside world to coincide with our own. We rally a cause or condemn a vicious tyrant. This occasional whim to voice our concerns must not continue. Perhaps we are the generation that will make the difference. Perhaps we are the generation that will stop the continuing hate and violence. As it stands our generation has had the most attainable educational opportunities Perhaps we will use these opportunities to relieve the existing racial tension, the misery of p0verty, the humility of illiteracy, the sorrow of child abuse and the human waste of drug abuse. One day soon it will be apparent to everyone that our world is falling apart. It will also be true then that our negligence has led to its ruin. For the childrens sake, we should make this world a forum for them to far surpass even our own accomplishments. Sincerely. Lara G.

Despite the Stock Market Crash in February, our economy has trudged along - slowly re- gaining its momentum. Economist predict that this is only the dark before the storm, while other economist insist that this is the tailend 0f the longlasting recession. Now, who do you believe? Over the last eight years, this country has slowly fallen into second place behind the Jap- anese in the world economy. Not quite as slowly we have become the world's largest debt holder with over a $3.0 trillion trade deficit. Yet, we continue to fight to bring home our daily bread, struggling to come of age. 350 University of Houston Advertisements 351 gym HARRY H. CULLEN INDEPENDENT OIL OPERATOR 500 JEFFERSON BLDG.
